This post is part of the monthly 10 on 10 photography circle I’m part of with a group of awesome blogging friends.
10 photos, shared on the 10th day of the month with a link to the next person in the circle, who links to the next person and so on. Be sure to click on the link at the bottom of the post and follow it around until you get back to me.
The school holidays can be crazy chaotic when you’re a working parent. I’m lucky I work 3 days per week, as I get to spend 2 days per week with my little Miss while she’s off school, without having to take time off work.
This day during school holidays, we met some friends for an arvo cuppa at a local nursery, one I’d never been to before but it’s now become my favourite {and we have about 5 in our local area}.
The New Leaf Nursery make sustainability fun for the whole family. It’s a cool, quirky place that offers so much more than just selling plants. The kids had a ball collecting hidden golf balls in a bucket all around the nursery. They got to hold fluffy chickens, even a pink one! They played a piano in the middle of the nursery. And they shot hoops whilst the mums sipped hot tea and admired our peaceful surroundings. And all this… 10 minutes drive from our front door. I had no idea!

You would love it Cathy! I’d love to take you there! xx
What am amazing place. Touches kids’ imaginations and let’s them play free. Fun photo opprtunity too. A great discovery and some fun photos. I was a bit concerned about the guy in the loo. Ha Ha
He’s pretty cool huh! Scared me at first sight though
xx
That looks so much fun, especially that toilet photo! With such cool surroundings, I bet the kids out-funned the mums! What a great find and so close to home too. Winning!
A little gem practically in our backyard! Such a cool find xx
Oh wow! How cool is this place?!! I know my kids would love it too! So much better than a plastic looking playground hey! Love those fluffy chickens, how adorable and the toilet guy – he would get all the laughs xx
You should have seen the pink chicken. Super cool! And yes, it was refreshing not to have the usual plastic play area and let the kids roam free a bit. xx
So fun! Love the pics. Will have to revisit this post when the kids get home so I can show them the toilet picture! They’ll think it’s hilarious. #teamIBOT
haha. My scardey cat son was a bit scared of toilet guy at first look. I had to explain that it’s not a real person
xx
Oh wow! What a great place! While we make our way to the big box stores most of the time, our favorite nursery has some fun – including a big ol’ fat alligator in the back. Not nearly as fantastic as the place you have found. Great captures!
the big fat alligator sounds so fun! The big box stores are definitely taking over these days, we’re lucky to still have some fabulous nurserys near us to visit! xx
This is such a great idea! Love that chook! x
You would have loved the pink chook Shan. I want one as a pet now!
What a fantastic place….probably a good thing it’s not 10 minutes from my door!!!
haha! Yes, I cant wait to get back there again! Maybe with the purse this time
Wow. I have visited a nursery lately but it was nothing like this one. Kids would have loved it
They had a ball! Cant wait to take them back again soon. Wish there were more places like this everywhere! xx
What a great nursery, looks like a great way to spend the school holidays Shannon!
So much fun Steph! xx
What a fabulous location for a photo shoot or to just explore. Love it.
Thanks Raych. We could have stayed for hours! So much fun xx
So kitchy cute! I haven’t been to a nursury lately but was actually searching for one today that has a good range of garden “sculptures”. Basically I keep killing plants so I am going to put something made of cement in the spot instead.

Ahh.. you’re my kinda person! I have 2 Buddha’s in the garden for that same reason
How cool is that?!! What a fun place to take the kids.
