First private workshop in my new space and it was so good. A girls night of drawing, talking, a glass of bubbles and a nibble to eat. Love what I do and love that it's 2 steps to the house.

The story behind “Cypress Pine”

When we bought a block of land in the heart of Mount Barker, in December 2013 there were 5 (20-30m) cypress pines on the block.

Due to the condition, size and age of the trees we applied to remove them before building commenced and were approved to remove 4/5 of the trees.

The remaining tree was denied by council as they considered it to “balance the block and surrounding landscape”. This was despite it being 30m tall, basically dead, a type of tree with a shallow root system, located on a residential zoned block of land and next to a school pedestrian crossing.

Over the next few years we gave away the wood from the removed trees to our community, stored some for future outdoor use and used some as mulch on the site.

In August 2016, a huge storm smashed through the Adelaide Hills and in the early morning the remaining tree crashed across Dutton Road. It took out power and temporarily blocked the road but otherwise causing little damage. Had it fallen in the opposite direction (or a few hours later) this could have been disastrous.

Over the last 5 years we have replaced the cypress pine trees with 20 smaller trees. We wanted to bring a bit of the history of this trees story into our home and support local business SABI Design Adelaide Hills - we love the way this story turned out and our one of a kind artwork.
