Story

Gardens and backyards are, for most New-Zealanders, personal sanctuaries. Our own place to relax and let go. It is the desire for most homeowners to create wonderful spaces that they can enjoy with family and friends and generally enhance their quality of life. There are many things to consider when creating a great landscape but for us the most crucial is meaning. What, and who, is this garden for. It sounds simple but when we take away all the fancy details and materials what is this garden doing for me. In the quest for getting the most efficient use of space and allowing of every possible activity, there is very often one use not considered, and that is what “you”need.

Traditionally gardens were always a place that would provide. We don't have a ¼ acre anymore but that does not mean we cannot achieve great things. Once our rural landscape was able to provide us with great natural habitats full of wonderful flora and fauna and also an abundance of food. Sadly much of that is now gone or exported.

87% of all New Zealanders live in cities or urban areas. Given the reputation of our country as being a paradise of natural beauty is significant that most of us rarely interact with or understand very much about our native species or how our food is produced. The trend globally now is to bring some of those intrinsic rural functions into the city and we feel that this design movement is pivotal in not only enabling us to create amazing habitats and edible gardens, but is also just what we need to help us answer the “why” and “who”.
