I recently attended a family wedding in Brisbane, and while there I was fortunate enough to have time to go visit the Northey St City Farm located in Windsor. If you have the time I highly recommend visiting, as not only are they an inspirational mecca for edible gardens, they also have a wonderful organic farmers market that runs each Sunday, and a plant nursery which is open Thursday to Sunday where you can buy most of the plants you see.

A ice-cream bean tree. I have one of these in my backyard. |
A sea grape which produces large grape like sweet-acid fruit. |
A Brazilian cherry, another tree that is growing in my backyard. |
A wax jambu, I looked at one of these trees and decided against buying this as it reminded me too much of our pesky lilly pilly. |
A curry-leaf tree. I am a bit worried about where I have planted this now at home! |
A cherry guava. I have two guava trees in my backyard. |
Various vegetable garden beds with companion plants. |

I love this worm farm. The city farm worm farm is much bigger than mine. |
There were lots of plaques with valuable information that could found around the city farm gardens. |
