G'day, we are here to help you get started creating a haven, in your own backyard, no matter how small it might be. We are still learning (life does seem to be one big learning curve doesn't it?) but are happy to pass on what we know so far.

Anne-Louise has nearly 30 years experience in the garden industry. She is a qualified Horticulturist with experience in wholesale/retail nursuries, both in marketing and management, in horticultural research/consultation as well as garden design makeover consultation coordination. She now manages her own business, InsideOut. 

Our Garden will be open as part of Australia's Open Garden Scheme  on the 30th & 31st of October 2010. Krackatinni is a small suburban garden with a focus on organic, sustainable, creative and high density gardening. The front garden is a mixture of fruit, vegetables and ornamentals. The backyard creates a private and peaceful oasis in the middle of suburbia. Throughout the garden you will find many rustic recycled objects, like the antique pump which we combined with industrial C channels to make a unique pond. Other people's trash have become our garden treasures, we love thinking laterally and giving old things new life. Come and join us under the white mulberry tree with the lorikeets and chooks for morning or afternoon tea. Or come in the evening to watch the bats fly in, the solar lights come on and the candles lit in the witching hours of the Halloween Weekend. Be amazed at what you can fit into approximately 630sqm as you chat to us about any aspect of gardening. There will also be raffle tickets, plants and garden items for sale. We are located near Penrith, NSW, in Glenmore Park, enter via Mulgoa Rd. Entry fee $6.00. We are raising money for ASCA, which is a national organisation which works to improve the lives of adult survivors of child abuse throughout Australia.
