☀️ Celebrating the Summer Solstice at The Outback 🌿

Today marks the longest day of the year — a chance to pause and appreciate the garden at its fullest.

At The Outback Community Kitchen and Garden, summer brings colour, growth and plenty of life. Flowers are blooming, fruit and vegetables are taking shape, pollinators are busy, and every corner of the garden offers something new to notice.

The Summer Solstice is a lovely reminder of the wellbeing we can find in nature — whether that’s through gardening, sharing food, watching wildlife or simply sitting quietly in the sunshine.

Are you celebrating the solstice? Tell us your plans 🌻

Here's a little dose of nature 🪻🌼🌺

Seeing and being in nature is crucial for human health. Studies show that even 15 to 20 minutes a day can regulate stress hormones, lower blood pressure, and improve mood. Whether through a window or outside, nature promotes psychological restoration, cognitive focus, and overall well-being.

This World Bee Day 🐝, we’re celebrating Park Ward Pollinators at The Outback Garden 🐝🌼

Park Ward Pollinators is our local community project, where our dedicated pollinators come together to care for our community beehives, share skills, and help look after the habitat for our bees and other wildlife.

It’s a brilliant example of community in action, helping protect pollinators while bringing people together around shared skills, learning and care for nature.

And as a sweet bonus, we also produce and sell our own local honey 🍯

A big thank you to everyone involved in helping our bees — and our garden — thrive.
