Marmalade cottage was built in 1917. Then it was renovated in the 1950s. Then nothing, really. It's been empty for a couple of years and still has its fabulous, kitsch linoleum floor coverings. And an outside loo and a beautiful cream and green Metters wood stove. Come with us as we transform a gracious shell into a functional house and create a fragrant, edible garden around it.

Unexpected sweetness
This came to the reinventors as a dried out stick. The practical reinventor (ever the optimist) stuck it it a jam jar of water on the kitchen window sill.
Sure enough, it sprouted roots, so she planted it.
And look! It does seem to like life in the corner next to chooks and behind the plum tree. There are three offshoots.
We wonder whether we could extract our own golden syrup or whatever from it?
