Edible Landscapes
Consultation, Design, Installation & Management
Grow your own food.
Become a responsible custodian of the land you live on.
We transform backyards into abundant food gardens using permaculture, agroforestry and natural gardening techniques. Our gardens both regenerate the land and feed the family, creating a reciprocal connection between people and the land they live on.
Growing food not only provides food security but also connects people back to their ecological role of land stewardship.
Modern society has grown dependent on large-scale food systems that are destructive in more ways than one. The act of coming back to land as a reciprocal exchange by growing your own food is central to improving many of our social and environmental issues present today. Building local food systems — whether it’s at home, in our schools or on small-scale farms — is imperative to our healing as a society.
Our mission is to help disempowered people reclaim their sovereignty by cultivating food security in their backyards, through techniques that regenerate the land in the process. Our biggest joy is in reminding people of the value of reciprocity — that when you look after the land, she will give back in abundance.
Our Mission.
Our Services.
We provide consultation, edible landscape design and installation services to help you begin your journey to food sovereignty. We design spaces big and small, including urban blocks and rural properties. We use ecological design principles to create resilient, productive systems that are attuned to your needs, desires and to your specific property.
Every property has the capacity to grow food.
Our Ethos.
With years of experience working in local food systems, our values centre around regenerative practises, localisation as a way to ensure food security, whole systems thinking, and attuned engagement with land. Our work reflects the knowledge that a balanced ecosystem gives rise to nutrient-rich yields and a resilient system.
We want to share our knowledge and expertise of regenerative agriculture with others, so that more resilient and productive foodscapes can be born that both regenerate the earth and nourish people.

"These two really helped me with my questions and ideas on what I needed to do with my property. Their consultation was very informative and concise, giving me the confidence to take action and grow my own beautiful fruit and veg garden. Their follow up design really guided us, and helped us to stay on track with our garden's evolution!"

“Liv and Jonas came to my rescue when I became unable to maintain my young food forest due to an injury. The task was made more difficult because I had fairly randomly plonked the plants in place without much forethought or planning. Liv and Jonas came up with a well thought out plan to set up the forest to evolve happily as the productive species slowly matured. They then enthusiastically set about pruning, planting, amending the soil, composting, mulching and installing drip irrigation. It looks great and I'm excited at the prospect of watching it all thrive and I would highly recommend their services.”

"Liv and Jonas are reliable, knowledgeable and always willing to explain what they do and why. They created terraced rows with swales to capture the water on our steep sloping site that is now becoming a healthy and abundant food forest . It has been a pleasure to work with these two and if you are looking to create any type of food garden I recommend them highly."
