Garden on Glenora is a family-run educational garden in Cawarral, Central Queensland, showcasing Climate-Adapted food gardening, Edible Garden Design, and Food Forest Systems.
Through workshops, guided tours, and practical demonstrations, we help people create productive gardens that thrive in our local conditions. By understanding climate, soil, water, and plant relationships, gardeners can grow more food, reduce maintenance, and build systems that become increasingly resilient over time.
We don't just grow food plants — we grow the conditions that make food possible.

We’re Lachie & Emma — based in Cawarral, Central Queensland.
We started growing food with a simple goal — to feed ourselves well and live a little more connected to the land. What began as rows of veggies and a lot of trial and error slowly evolved into something much more…
A space that works with nature, not against it. A garden that gives more than it takes. A place where food, learning and community come together.
Like many people, we started out trying to grow everything — and quickly realised how much work, water and effort that can take in our climate. So we shifted our approach.
Instead of forcing things to grow, we began paying attention — to what actually thrives here, how the seasons behave, and what the environment is telling us.
Garden on Glenora has grown out of that journey. It’s not about doing things perfectly — it’s about showing that growing food in Central Queensland can actually be simple when you work with the conditions instead of against them.
These days, our focus is simple. We grow what wants to grow here, we pay attention to the changing environment and we keep it practical, low-effort and realistic.
We now share the space through tours and workshops, giving people a chance to see what’s possible and take away ideas they can use at home.
Glad to have you here — Lachie & Emma
