Edible office garden - Map coffee break time

A few minutes walk from Crown Casino, I came across this Very Edible Garden in an unlikely place - corporate headquarters of Map Coffee, backstreets of South Melbourne

Rhubarb lines the boardroom

Redlegged Silverbeet

The Toolshed

If it were my garden (wish!), I would make this Rustic tableaux the entire color scheme: Madonna blue and cardinal red, with green, in cottage-style fragrant flowers to encourage and delighting the edibles. I'd have rich red roses climbing the cyclone wire, and blue daisies & blue forget-me-knots for the bees. Oh, and honey for the coffee. What other mid blue flowers are there? Delphiniums, borage for salads. Bluebells.

They cook up the produce for shared lunches each week in their snazzy Milan-looking kitchen

With a garden like this, you don't need to read their mission statement to know this is the kind of company you'd like to work with, belong to.

Even the car park is delicious. The rusty-red crates are filled with rich soil, mulched and automatically watered, from a massive tank covered in passion fruit vines.
