I have always loved all things that grow, felt at peace when immersed in nature and since I was a little child I dreamed of having a little farm with a beautiful garden and a few animals.

Life has led me on many paths and I found myself doing cartwheels on horse backs, programming websites when the word “internet” was still a novel and revolutionary thing, dancing on theatre stages, creating immersive sound & video installations on a historical island in Sydney Harbour, processing and healing severe childhood trauma, managing the teaching program of a Tibetan Buddhist Centre, learning & practicing Bowen Therapy for humans and for horses, travelling the world, and so on. In short, my life is colourful and dynamic. And never was there space or the opportunity to have a garden.

Until in 2022 I found a perfect rental on a farm close to Yandina – a lovely cottage with plenty of space around to create a garden!

The time had finally come to settle and put down roots. Literally. I created the garden around me intuitively and naturally. Observing and experimenting. Interfering as little as possible. Talking and singing to my plants and flowers. Finding endless joy and happiness in doing so. And so much energy and health comes from eating the bounty of my homegrown food. Most of the plants I grow have medicinal value. There is so much goodness and virtue in the flora all around us.

This is true wealth!

Due to the abundance of rain this summer (2023/24) I started to have way more herbs than I could ever use, so I started to share this abundance with people around me. And the idea of Eva’s Happy Harmony Herbs was soon born. Whenever I have surplus in my garden, I’m sharing it with my local community in & around Yandina!
