When most people think of a swimming pool, they imagine concrete walls, the sting of chlorine, and endless maintenance routines. But there’s another way. At Flo Gardens, we create natural pools that replicate the balance of freshwater ecosystems — what we call Living Water. These pools aren’t just places to swim; they’re sanctuaries for people, wildlife, and the land itself.

Discover how spending time by rivers, creeks, lakes and wetlands lowers stress, boosts mood, supports movement, and connects communities. Learn why healthy water ecosystems matter for both people and wildlife.

THE FIRST CHILD

I think its true what they say about the first-born child…they receive so much of your undivided attention. Sometimes this attention manifests in weird and wonderful ways.

Create an instant vegie garden in your backyard with a Flogardens Aquaponics system.

This morning I rocked up to my Mums and Bubs exercise class with a bucket full of fresh lettuces to share. All excess from our garden.

After buying our first house in South Golden Beach and with our first child looming, I spent a lot of time thinking about my perfect backyard.

I've always wanted to be able to have a superb veggie patch to feed my self, and later on my family. A garden where my kids could one day experience what I did.

After Doing a day course at Byron bay community college, I got a good understanding of aquaponics.
