The Good Natured Garden

The Good Natured Garden is nestled within The Farm, a small and vibrant quarter acre plot lovingly tended by Venetia Scott.

Passionate about connecting people with diverse small-scale farming for the benefits to human and ecological health, Venetia grows Tulsi (Holy Basil), bananas, ginger, turmeric and lemons using permaculture principles and organic practices.

Her thriving certified organic crops support biodiversity, especially among pollinators who feed on the Tulsi and banana flowers. Her handcrafted products, Byron Baynanas, delicious dried banana snacks, and Tulsi tea blends are available at The Produce Store and online.
