  • 2 thumbs up!

    Before I got to trial this plant food my poor lemon tree wasn’t growing, as soon as I started using it I kid you not it’s like the lemon tree came to life again and looked better than ever. I am really impressed by how fast it worked. Absolutely love that it’s organic which is a big plus for me. Will definitely buy this again when it finishes and I 100% recommend to anyone who’s finding their trees not growing or even just wants a boost for their garden.

  • Fantastic garden food

    I tried Scott’s garden food for the last 8 weeks and found it to be a great addition to my garden. I actually didn’t realise how bad my plants and bushes were doing until they were suddenly greener, lusher, bigger and flowering. When I started using it my Brocollini was just fruiting and with Scott’s organic plant food I ended up taking about 12KG of Brocollini and then let the rest go to flower for the bees. It was amazing. I’m going to continue using Scott’s plant food for my spring and summer plants that I’m about to plant after I harvest my Brocollini seeds.

  • My plants have never looked better

    I absolutely love Scott’s organic plant food and I used it for so many of my plants. Some of my indoor plants were looking a little sad until I started giving it the plant food and now they are thriving, rich in colour and look so much more healthy. I also used it outside in my 2 year old fruit trees and they don’t tend to get many flowers that turn to fruit and since using the plant food it has so many white flowers. I’m excited to see how much fruit I get this year and my herbs look so much healthier. I highly recommend this product to any plant lover.

  • Fruit trees for the first time in years

    Our fruit trees haven’t grown any fruit in 2 years so I thought I’d give it a go and over the 8 weeks they have gotten bigger, grown FLOWERS!! Which mean fruiting soon and the flowers are so bright and big so I’m more than happy with the results and intend to continue using to see how the fruit grows and even for next season if it supplies more next year

    To my surprise the Scotts Organic Plant Food has done wonders to my indoor fiddle leaf. As seen in my short video, there has been significant growth and the overall health of the plant is great. I highly recommend you to purchase this product at your local nursery.

  • Best plant food around

    I really love the Scotts Organic Plant Food and so does my garden. It really does look after my plants giving them the nourishment that they need and makes them look amazing and healthy., I do find the sustainable packaging a little “clumsy” to use and end up with it all over my hands. But that is not a big problem since my hands will be getting dirty in the garden anyway.

  • Handy

    Was excited for this plant food concentrate- am trying to grow few citrus trees, herbs and plant seedlings (flowers).
    Love the handy handle and opening was easy.
    Would still love a measuring utensil to be provided as the ones I own, are only used for food preparation.
    Slight improvements to my garden.
    Will continue to use since the concentrate pack size allows up to 360L.
    Bonus is pet friendly too.

  • Healthy Plants

    I used the Scott’s Organic plant food on my veggie garden, lawn and outdoor plants over an 8 week period. The packaging is easy to use and store away. Some outdoor plants were on its way out and with the help of this product, it has brought it back to healthy life again. It did take some time to see massive improvements but overall the product works well and would not hesitate to use it again. The product has my gardening routine back in full swing this spring/summer season ahead.

  • Flourishing Plants

    When I opened up the Scott’s Organic Plant Food I was excited to use it on my plants. I noticed after I applied the liquid to my plants that after a couple of weeks they looked more alive and flourished. It especially helped my snow peas grow stronger and healthier. My garden is also looking more nourished and the plants are looking vibrant and happy.
    It was also easy to use Scott’s Organic Plant Food with the simple instructions for all plants and veggie types. I also liked that it’s safe to use around children and pets. I would definitely recommend this product.

  • Wonderful plant health solution!

    I often use store bought generic plant foods and fertiliser and to be honest, nothing has compared to the Scotts Organic Plant Food. My plants are noticeably healthier and thriving! I also decided to add some to our lawn and smaller pot plants because I noticed such a wonderful difference on our veggie garden and they too equally thrived. I love how easy it is to use in my gardening routine with great results! The sustainable packaging with the easy to use handle is a bonus! Would certainly recommend to friends and family and other gardening enthusiasts to give it a try and see the results for yourselves.

I fondly remember slow, summer afternoons with family and friends gathered around a table of delicious finger-food during my childhood – the adults chatting and laughing, the kids pretending they understood the jokes. My parents had continued their Mediterranean traditions long after settling in Australia – and the simple joy of an effortlessly elegant gathering was one of my favourites.

What I don’t remember is my parents ever being stressed about the gatherings. It all just seemed to ‘come together’. Ah, how times have changed!

There’s something about the Italian style of entertaining that’s still so alluring in our fast-paced family lives. The idea of La Dolce Vita: a sweet life surrounded by family, friends, food and minimal fuss. Which is why we’ve enlisted the help of the entertaining experts at Sandhurst to share easy tips for elegant, memorable summer get-togethers.

We also asked our community of mums to share their tried and true, easy summer entertaining ideas, and we can’t wait to share them with you!

Euro-Inspired Entertaining

Sandhurst

Before we dive into the delicious world of sumptuous, simple summer entertaining, it helps to know a little about the inspiration behind our guide. And that’s the concept of Italian entertaining – where time is taken to lovingly grow ingredients, before enjoying them with those you love.

Established in 1988, Sandhurst was born from the time-honoured traditions of generations of the family behind the brand – a proud Italian Australian family passionate about quality produce sourced from world’s best growers.

At the helm of Sandhurst are brothers Mimmo and Ray Lubrano, who live and breathe the impeccable ingredients that become the centrepiece of so many gatherings in Australian family homes.

“Tradition is what we stand for. We’re custodians of Italian values,” explained Mimmo. “When we go to Italy we see it in our grandparents, our parents came from Italy in the 50s. The tradition is a set of values: honesty, teamwork, participation, family – all the things you would associate with Italian family are the values.”

And it’s these beautiful values that make summer gatherings in Australia an extension of the European table.

Easy Summer Entertaining Starts With … Time Saving Secrets!

Sandhurst

A sweet summer of entertaining doesn’t need to be stressful. In fact, it shouldn’t be. It’s a chance to spend time with loved ones. To press pause on life and make memories. And it can be simple! So here are some really easy tips for making your home the place where everyone wants to gather this summer.

Create An Entertaining Kit

Whether it’s pre-planned or you’ve had friends or family drop-in, having a few things ready to go immediately melts away any stress. Here are some things to include in a summer entertaining kit:

  • A red table cloth: It instantly says festive!
  • Some platters and serving dishes
  • Candles
  • Some quality antipasto ingredients that simply need to be decanted and enjoyed!

Many Hands Make Light Work

As mums, we tend to be our own worst enemy when it comes to delegating tasks. But remember, a summer of entertaining is about creating memories – not perfection. So let the kids help, and accept offers from your guests who’d like to bring something along to share.

“It can be overwhelming, so just delegate, and prepare. I do one dish prep per day and pop them in the freezer. Then they just need to be heated up. Let the kids do the decorating for you – plus keeps them busy!” – MoM Member Kirsty

Decorate With Happiness

There’s no need to pull out your finest crystal to pull off an elegant get together. Take a look around your home and garden to see what will bring your table to life. A bowl of lemons is a gorgeous addition, as is a bunch of gum leaves. Keep it simple and understated.

Finger Food For The Win

Nothing says simple summer elegance more than a charcuterie board (or three!). When my friends and our families get together, it’s our go-to – every family is asked to ‘bring a board’. Some do savoury and some sweet, so we’re covered for a long afternoon of catching up.

“Food wise, I keep it simple by doing cold deli meats, cheeses, fresh fruits and veggies.” – MoM Member

But just because boards are easy to put together, doesn’t mean they can’t ooze elegance. And that comes down to including quality ingredients. Choosing Sandhurst products is the easiest way to guarantee the highest quality ends up on your table. We love the premise behind the brand: from our family to yours – it invokes that nostalgic feeling of shared stories, history, gatherings and family.

How To Put Together A Charcuterie Board

There are no right or wrong ways to create a charcuterie board, but to ensure a balance of textures and flavours try to include:

La Dolce Vita!

A summer of sophisticated entertaining doesn’t have to be hours and hours of work. We don’t want it to be! By grabbing some beautiful ingredients to fill your pantry next time you’re shopping, you’ll know that at a moment’s notice you’ll have everything you need for a Euro-inspired gathering. No fuss, but plenty of substance and style!

  • I’ve really needed some inspiration this year for Christmas and this is great! I Love a good charcuterie board and I think I may do one this year for the family as well as all the regular Christmas trimmings. I have 6 kids and all the extended family coming to entertain and feed!

  • We often have homemade pizza nights aka fakeaway night! And my pizza is always on a low carb Pizza base with roasted and sundried tomato and capsicum. My fav combo with grilled chicken and a swirl of peri peri mayonnaise! Making our own is always better than takeaway versions and healthier!

  • Looked so good I couldn’t wait – Dove in off the end of my bread baton and swirled around in a couple of cheesy dips only to finish up at the Sandhurst stackers and sun-dried olives, who needs a Holiday when there is one in the kitchen, I can take any day.

  • I have been buying Sandhurst Kalamata Olives, Sandhurst Semi-Dried Tomatoes, Sandhurst Baby Capers, Sandhurst Sicilian Green Olives for years as our kitchen staple adding that extra flavours to our dishes. I buy Sandhurst products for Gift Baskets as presents for family and friends and they love this idea as I add a chopping board and a knife and crackers and cheese for a celebration of flavours.

  • I have been a purchaser of Sandhurst goods ever since they first appeared on supermarket shelves and still buy it to this day. The Sandhurst brand is the best without a doubt. This year I have not been able to find the Sandhurst cheese stuffed baby capsicums anywhere. I have tried to get on the Sandhurst site, but no luck with what they make. Help – these are such a wonderful addition to a salad.

  • I Love a good charcuterie board. I Love all the different options all on the one board. I love to do a chocolate board when we have guests over, it’s a fun way to do dessert after dinner. The kids love seeing everything layed out so they can pick and choose.

  • This is great for the grandchildren they love them as they use them as finger food and make up their own meal and use plenty of ingredients including meat and cheese on the dips and crackers. We keep it simple with the Sandhurst’s products as it is a meal in every jar and the kids love them.

  • This looks like the perfect relaxed way to have a picnic! I am loving the idea of this! Just bring along lots of fillings and plenty of cheeses and breads and of course a little alcohol and you’re all set. This sounds like the perfect way to catch up with friends!

  • This is timely and helpful, thanks – I aspire to entertain more and tips to make it less stressful are very welcome.

  • Charcuterie boards are the absolute best! We do these so often in the warmer months because there’s something for the whole family. People pick and choose what they like and there’s no complaints because there’s so many different options to choose from, everyone is happy. It’s such a simple stressful way to make dinner.

  • I absolutely adore finger food and this style of feeding people when we have family and friends at our home; or when we go out for a picnic, bbq or get together. These types of food are so easy to source and to buy and to prepare and to happily eat.


    • Yes I agree, finger foods are easy and yummie ! And you can assemble a healthy enough plate (certainly when you add salads, cheeses, nuts, fruits, boiled eggs, olives and rustic breads) that it can certainly can replace a meal (either lunch or dinner). Everyone happy and no hours of preparation in the kitchen :)



      • Also; the other bonus is less mess to clean up when cutlery is not needed. Finger food is the best for laid back and relaxed get togethers. There is always such a clam and relaxed feel to a finger food meal without the need for any fancy and stuffy table settings.
