Hopefully they will do it next year bigger and better. It's pretty cool to have something like this so close to home.
I went yesterday which was very quiet - good for me, maybe not so for traders. It would have been good to see more variety in the plants (and more food plants) but it's only their first time and maybe next year will be bigger and better - assuming they try again.
There were 2 herb places. I replaced my greek basil at the second one. http://www.jasherbnursery.com/ which seemed much better value. I like the greek basil but it always goes to seed on me. They said I should put it in a pot rather than my clay soil.
The Mudbrick people really do know how to charge! I wanted the perennial Leek and the $8 per 1 tiny stem was a bit gulp-making. It's proven to be a tough hombre and I'd even give some plants away to anyone who wants one. They are slow growers but the results are good eating.
Made the decision to go this morning. Parking was well organised and $5 a pop. The bus is free (see listing for info).
Quite a few stands but not many of them of real interest to myself ie food plants. Lots of broms and native plants for sale. I did sit in on a very interesting talk about herbs by Sandra Nanka from Mudbrick Cottage Herbs and left fired up to buy some she was talking about...until I saw the prices. Call me old fashioned but $4.50 and $5.50 per small tube is a bit exie. I'll pick them up for much cheaper at the Caboolture Mkts.
An icecream in a small tub cost me $6.50. It was a top quality Mammio product, but still.
There were chicken runs, rainwater tanks, some ordinary looking wicking beds and hanging beds, sculptures (wanted those! don't have a spare $1000), some interesting pots, lots of decorative plants all high quality and expensively priced, animal nursery for the kids, talks if you can be at the right tent at the right time, coffee stalls, food stalls (nothing gluten free that I could find - maybe the roast spuds), some created garden displays (decorative).
All up about what I expected but disappointed it wasn't more about food plants. Never mind. Depends what you are looking for as a day out. Think I'll go to the markets tomorrow to satisfy my urge for quality cheap plants.
If/when anyone goes can they please give some feedback? I intend going one day this weekend.
There is shuttle bus from strathpine station, consider catching the trains.. will be one and a half hours on the train though
It's in the big park along the flats near Bald Hills.
Still a year away - I'm sure they'll sort out options for parking/transport by then.
Wherever it may be. Parking? Gympie Road! Shuttle bus from Strathpine Station?
Wow! Right on our doorstep.
Always add photos using the "From my computer" option, even if you are on a mobile phone or other device.

Vetiver grass helps to stabilise soil and protects it against erosion. It can protect against pests and weeds. Vetiver is also used as animal feed. (Wiki.)
GrowVetiver is a plant nursery run by Dave & Keir Riley that harvests and grows Vetiver grass for local community applications and use. It is based in Beachmere, just north of Brisbane, Australia.
