“The greatest change we need is from consumption to production, even if on a small scale, in our own gardens.”
Bill Mollision
Why Grow Your Own Food?
A food garden offers numerous benefits to individvuals and the environment. Beyond the ability to harvest your own chemical-free, high quality food, food gardens achieve an ecological balance and become new habitats for biodiversity when designed to mimic our natural, native environment. Growing your own food also cultivates a connection to land and offers a calming respite from all the concrete, glass and steel that is all too prevelant.
Our Approach
We transform forgotten backyards, balconies and underutilised green spaces into productive edible landscapes. Permaculture (short for “permanent culture”) is in the context of gardening or farming, a sustainable and regenerative approach that creates abundance over time. With this approach, we harvest on-site resources like water, food “waste”, organic material etc, to create fertility and enable you to harvest a yield, even on degraded and waterlogged soil.
We work with residential clients, hospitality clients and everyone in between, both in Singapore and overseas. Check out our portfolio here.
The Process
Site Assessment
We will assess climate, and microclimate variations within the site, soil and drainage as well as sun exposure of the site.
Proposal and Budget
Presentation of design proposal, plant selection, project budget and timeline of phased implementation. We will also discuss a management plan outlining ongoing tasks.
Implementation
Soil preparation, construction of the elements and planting as per the designed plan. Ongoing client education on garden care and harvesting techniques. Commencement of management plan.
