As you probably know, TDF is a tiny team, but we are so lucky to have a wonderful network of contributors from across Australia that help us to bring you coverage of creative happenings from outside our Melbourne base. Today we’re excited to welcome writer Karen Locke and photographer Honey Atkinson of Will Work For Food to the fold.

Each month, the duo will be travelling to rural and regional areas across the country to bring you insights into the lives of those living sustainably, on and from the land.

Today Karen and Honey visit the Hunter Region of New South Wales, where they meet Vanessa Garcia and Dominique Northam of The Flower Farm Collective.

You may have heard of ‘Sarah K’ in connection with  her sustainable design initiative Supercyclers, or perhaps The Other Hemisphere, which showcases Australian design at various international design events, including the Salone del Mobile in Milan and design weeks in London and Tokyo. Sarah K is a dynamic do-er, and is devoted to preserving and sharing beauty – be it natural or thoughtfully man-made!

Having lived all over Australia, Sarah is now based in Moss Vale, and has recently converted a workshop on her property into a charming weekender called closed(work)shop, furnished with a beautiful edit of Australian design pieces.

Today, Sarah introduces us to her top spots in the NSW Southern Highlands, just over one-and-a-half hours drive south-west of Sydney, with stop-offs at Fitzroy Falls, Moss Vale and Bowral.

This talented duo combine creativity and pragmatism at Sunnymeade, their rambling Anglesea property. They’re realistic when it comes to favouring plants they know will survive, but are also willing to put in the extra effort to maintain some uniquely artistic elements.

Our gardens columnist, Georgina Reid of The Planthunter, chats with the Shaw family about the 15-year transformation of their property.
