Hi Friends,
I’m in the process of writing my second book about how to grow food in any climate in Australia (due out late 2023 with Affirm Press). As it’s covering the whole, vast country I would so very dearly love to include photos of edible gardens in different climates to show folks what’s possible across Australia. So if you’re an edible gardener and live in central Australia (arid climate), the wet/dry tropics, subtropics, warm or Mediterranean temperate regions I would love to here from you!
The photos need to be as high quality as possible – ideally high resolution with 300 dpi. If this means nothing to you, just send through your best quality and I’ll see if it can work. Please email through to hello@toniag3.sg-host.com and include some general info outlined below.
- Your name.
- The area where you live and grow.
- A brief description of what’s happening in the photo/s.
- The person who took the photo (if not you) for photo credit in the book.
SUBMISSIONS ARE NOW CLOSED. Enormous thanks to the hundreds of people who sent photos in – I’m happily overwhelmed.
What do you get in exchange? Great question, sadly there’s no budget to pay for these photos – so I’m offering a trade :-). For any chosen photos I’ll send you a thank you pack, this will include a copy of my existing book and a range of my educational tea towels.
It’s such an exciting thought that we could work together to make this happen – just imagine! Thanks in advance :-).
Would love to send some of my garden patch here in Brisbane .
Happy to seed some pics of my seasonal garden!
Hi, feel free to have a look at my Facebook page. There is a few hundred photos of our vegetable garden. We are in the hills outside Melbourne so we get cold winters and very hot summers. We run a gardening business so there is also some business photos which you can ignore. Cheers Brendan
Hello,
We grew a very successful vegetable garden in central Queensland – Emerald. When I say we – it was really all the love and toil from my husband Steven. We are not there now, but have amazing photo’s of what we achieved including a big chicken coup with 6 girls etc..
Let me know if the past is suitable.
Love Maggie
Gday Hannah, we live a life somewhat similar I think to what you and your family do. We are in Central qld in very hot subtropics.

Keep doing the great things you are doing,
Anyway we can help, welcome to call me -0409962833

I’d be happy to share photos of my garden set up in South East Qld, which includes my composters (neighbours drop off their food scraps), chickens, and is totally possum proof too. All in raised gardens within a huge cage. But i’m not sure where/how to attach the pics?
Hey Hannah, I’d love to give you photos of my garden. I’m in lochiel, far south coast of NSW. Almost everything is edible or useful.
