We Design Regenerative Food Producing Ecosystems

With Permaculture & Agroforestry Design for Home, Farm, or Business.

We base our designs on essential scientific data collected from the local environment such as: climate type, sun angels, rainfall, topography, winds, water, roads, structures as well as historical and local knowledge.
We assimilate all this data with our clients brief which gives us an overview of how to best position each new desired element in our designs, be it houses, gardens, animals, damns and so on.

We then consider how all of these elements connect and work together and how they cycle energy between each other. By starting with the right data it allows us to create systems that work in synergy, just like natural ecosystems do.

This process maximises efficiency by saving water, energy, time, recourses, money. This ultimately leads to a naturally harmonious and abundant landscape.
