My Nambour Project Featured in Backyard Magazine & on the Cover
I’ve got some very exciting news to share.
My Nambour project is featured within the current issue of Backyard magazine, and on the cover!
It’s a proud moment to have my work featured in Backyard amongst the high level of work by my industry peers.
The Incredibly Versatile Comfrey Plant
Comfrey is a perennial herb that has many uses in the garden. It has a well-deserved reputation as a super plant amongst organic growers and permaculture practitioners. It’s a nutrient rich ‘chop and drop’ mulch and compost activator, helps to break up compacted soils with its’ thick tuberous roots, can serve as a barrier to spreading grasses and weeds, and the leaves make a potent plant based liquid fertiliser.
The Joys & Benefits of Seed Saving
Saving your own seeds can save you money, create plants better adapted to your local growing conditions and personal tastes, help preserve genetic diversity, and create satisfaction through self-reliance and a closer connection to your food.
Turn Your Lawn into an Instant Garden with Sheet Mulching
Do you want to turn a lawn, weeds, or a patch of bad soil into a garden bed with little to no digging? Sheet mulching is a method that does most of the hard work for you!
Grow Bananas Easily & Sustainably With Banana Circles
Turn your kitchen or garden waste and excess water into delicious bananas and other crops with an easily constructed and low-maintenance banana circle.
Designing Your Sustainable Garden & Property With Permaculture
By planning your garden or property before developing it, you can save a lot of time, effort, and even money. Permaculture design can help guide you in the planning and design of your sustainable garden and property.
Dry Creek Bed Design & Installation
When our client contacted us to design and install two dry creek beds in the garden we previously created for them, we couldn't wait to get started because we knew it would be such a fun project. So what is a dry creek bed?
Food Forest Gardening
Food forest gardening offers an innovative, ecologically beneficial model for growing edible crops, timber, fibre, and fuel. By allowing nature to do most of the work, there’s little need for weeding, digging, or controlling insect ‘pests’ in the garden. A healthy system of self-supporting plant communities maintains soil fertility. They don’t have to be huge either, because the ‘forest’ refers to how they are designed, not their size. Their natural appearance is both beautiful and pleasant to be in. With so many benefits, it seems silly not to plant one!
No-Dig Vegetable Gardening
To build and maintain a no-dig garden, just layer organic materials on top of the ground and let nature do the work for you by creating beautiful fertile soil as the material breaks down, a lot like composting. It’s a great option if you want a garden but don’t have a lot of time to devote to its care and maintenance, and because you don’t have to dig the soil, it’s kind to the life in your garden too.
Improve Your Garden with Plant Communities
Creating plant communities naturally increases yields, reduces pests, and protects the soil. It’s a sustainable, ecological method of gardening that imitates the diversity of natural ecosystems.
Growing Bananas Naturally - After Harvest Maintenance
Bananas are actually a very large herbaceous plant that grow from an underground tuber. In this video I cover a few methods of maintaining the finished banana plant to optimise the health of the tuber and other plants growing from it.

Sean & Gail's Garden Update
A year has passed since Sean and Gail first approached us to help them design their garden, and nine months since the installation work got under way, so we thought it would be a good time to provide an update to share the successes of this project with you.
