Everything in this shop was made by a bloke who showed up on a Monday morning with time on his hands and left with a useful thing in front of him.
Native beehives. Potted herbs. Possum nesting boxes. Custom orders welcome. 100% of what you pay goes back into the shed.
"When you buy something from us, you're not just buying an object. You're buying a part of a soul — a moment of someone's life, made into a thing you can hold."

What's for sale
Native Beehives
Handmade from the ground up. Suits native stingless bees (Tetragonula) — the perfect pollinator for a Brisbane backyard. They don't sting, they pollinate your garden, they're a conversation piece, and they look the part.
- Beehive from $60
- Steel stand (keeps it off the ground, out of the rain) $30
- Steel mounting arm (wall-mount option) $60
Made to order. Bee colonies not included — we'll point you to local suppliers for those.
Potted Plants & Herbs
Grown in our shed garden. Basil, rosemary, thyme, parsley, mint, plus a rotating selection of flowering and ornamental pots depending on the season.
Made to order. Email ahead so we can have the right ones ready for you.
Possum Nesting Box
Built from form-ply — tough, weather-resistant, and built to last. Designed to give urban possums somewhere to live that isn't inside your roof. Installation instructions included.
Other items, built to order

Where your money goes
Every dollar you spend here goes back into the shed — tools, timber, consumables, insurance, electricity, and a few new brushes for the art & craft studio. None of us take a wage. Nothing goes offshore. Nothing goes to advertising.
Buying from the shop keeps the shed running. Simple as that.
Looking for a gift?
A native beehive is a cracking Father's Day present. A potted herb garden is a good housewarming. A custom street library for a niece or nephew who just bought their first house — that's the kind of gift people remember.
Email us at least 2 weeks out and we'll have it ready.
