Welcome back to the next instalment of our garden video diaries, The (Moor)Field Guide in Motion, for the month of February. It is the final month of summer and in these parts, every gardener we know is willing on the coming of autumn, it has been a brutal season here in the Southern Hemisphere, our toughest yet in the three years we have been building the garden here at our 1852 former sheep station. Signs of the seasonal shift have begun appearing and therefore, new thinking too, about what these cooler seasons mean for us and the work that needs doing here.
Grab yourself a cuppa and find a comfy spot and we hope you enjoy February. Below you will find links to all the supporting references to the parts of the garden and subjects we cover off in this months video diary to help you further explore what we are doing here and how we are doing it.
Thank you for all of your enthusiasm and encouragement for the January video, we hope you enjoy February as much and we look forward to bringing you the garden video diary for March in a months time for all paid subscribers. For the month of February we are releasing the video garden diary to all subscribers as a one-off to give people an understanding, who may not know us that well or have not been with us very long, as to who we are, what these videos are about and how they link to the paid only content here on substack, such as the Garden Guides, Cheat Sheets, Garden Gadabout and Gabs.
Thank you for all of your support, for being here and for following along as we create gardens for Moorfield, like she once had almost 200 hundred years ago. I hope the rest of the weekend affords you some time in your own green space or any you can find youself in, taking in the fresh air and letting nature ground you in it and restore you.
Pip, Hugo and family xo

A little more context…
In this video, I also make reference to our former garden, Little Oak in Southern Tasmania, which many of you are very familiar with as it is the first garden journey you went on with us and I thought I would share with you a couple of pieces I have written here some time ago and more recently. These pieces directly discuss Little Oak and the pivotal role creating this garden played in our lives and why. It is a look into the wellbeing benefits of gardening that I have experienced firsthand and that which now feels like the whole world is starting to recognise and talk about. I know many of you will be able to relate.
