We imagine the “over the fence” market will be pretty strong between neighbours at Hidden Valley Estate. Having a box of fruit ‘n veg handy when you see your neighbour park their boat is a sure way to score some fresh fillets too! To give you a helping hand with when to plant the different seeds, we’ve put together a list of what grows best at what time of year in the Whitsundays:

SUMMER
Herbs – basil, coriander, mint and tarragon.
Fruit and vegetables – beetroot, capsicum, spring onion, tomato, pumpkin, lettuce, cucumber, celery, cauliflower.

Experimenting with your own garden is half the fun of the acreage lifestyle at Hidden Valley. If all else fails, we may know the location of a few pretty impressive mango trees by the creek near lot 9 that will help keep you fed.
