From 6pm tonight, we’ll be shut for all 4 day of the Easter long weekend.
You’ve still got time to drop in if you need to get your Tattslotto tickets for the weekend, or that last minute card, or grab a mag to read over the break, or that sodastream refill for entertaining. 🍹🍸
The post office is open until 5:45pm to take care of any bills or posting that you might have (*it will not get there before Easter).
Wishing all our lovely customers a very happy and peaceful Easter and we’ll reopen Tuesday 6:30am.

Attention budding botanists and plant enthusiasts (or people related to them) - read on. 👇

Meet Mark and James Wapstra, two of the authors of this second edition of "Tasmanian Plant Names Unravelled" published by flying duck publications (of course they are Lenah Valley locals). Which is the first comprehensive species-by-species guide to the origin and meaning of the scientific and common names of the 2,760 vascular plants native and naturalised in Tasmania.

Lavishly illustrated, this book will appeal to Tasmanian botanists, naturalists and gardeners. It will be equally useful in southeastern mainland States, which share much of the Tasmanian flora.

The name of every one of our plants tells a story: where it occurs, its habitat, what it looks like, who discovered it, what it can be used for, whether it is edible or poisonous, and many other things.

This book is an easy-to-read reference that explains the mysteries of botanical language in a non-technical way.

Drop in to have a browse through this amazing reference book and secure your copy at a discounted rate for Lenah Valley Locals (normally $99, but for us $90).

And watch this space, as more titles will be coming soon from these guys. 😉

We’ve been taking donations during October to help John meet his fundraising goal.
Today he met the 1000 km target.
Now he just needs a few more $$$ to hit that target as well.
There is still time if you would like to help make a difference.
Great work John. ❤️
