Our Story
Our Location
Little Forest Gardens is nestled on the farming property "Little Forest" bordering the Lake River, 10km south of Cressy in the Northern Midlands, Tasmania - Australia. The 770 hectare property has been in the Bayles family for 100+ years where the main enterprises have been wool, fat lambs, Angus beef cattle and mixed cropping.
​
The cottage we live in was built by Lizzy's great grandparents in the early 1900's and we have completely rebuilt the flower garden, large orchard & vegetable garden since moving in back in 2007.
In recent years the next generation of "Little Forest" family members have introduced bee hives.
