Our name is our call to action: to “rewild” our landscapes, using natural processes to repair damaged ecosystems and restore biodiversity. By using a combination of methods, we build your landscape intelligently and beyond the sustainable baseline. Instead, our aim is to be regenerative. From leveraging natural systems and cycles, to building no-dig gardens and improving soil health, to focusing on native species and perennials. We plan and activate spaces using an approach that derives from many generations of wisdom to ensure your landscape is regenerative, low maintenance and is built for your local wildlife to thrive on for lifetimes to come. Check out our language “cheat sheet” of terms and explanations about what these regenerative methods are and why we choose to use them. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6165d36b059a2f0a33ceb7f7/2960c4b3-70f9-4035-a14f-4766dae9346f/shalev-cohen-uRlnISgCtME-unsplash.jpg Approach - Beauty. Spaces that open the eye also open the mind to learning, and the heart to appreciation. They attract your presence, participation and care. We take human-centric design into consideration at each step of our project, viewing each space as a unique canvas to beautify. We encourage wild beauty to take center stage by emulating natural systems, while also ensuring enough symmetry, open areas for enjoyment, and a balance in colours and textures. This results in spaces that are pleasing and set up to thrive. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6165d36b059a2f0a33ceb7f7/7fdd71b0-0ab0-4ef1-8424-d8c4398d968e/Herb+Spiral Approach - Function. In nature, everything serves a purpose, and often more than one. Likewise, our approach ensures purpose and functionality are integrated into all site elements. This means curated plant selection for your needs and climate, using available resources thoughtfully, and putting intention into all factors to ensure they serve functional purposes for local ecosystems and the people within them. We incorporate closed-loop systems (e.g. water catchment and composting systems), creativity (each site is unique), and simplified long-term management to equally ensure both the enjoyment and sustainability of our work. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6165d36b059a2f0a33ceb7f7/985105b7-0607-4079-a6c3-e6037c47c067/harry-cunningham-XLnnahlL4os-unsplash.jpg Approach Use texture & shapes https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6165d36b059a2f0a33ceb7f7/c4a1e72f-dcad-4bcc-a13c-b937273d6fb3/thomas-smith-2cFxxNtgrb8-unsplash.jpg Approach Grow for All Seasons https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6165d36b059a2f0a33ceb7f7/8c95f673-4ea9-4f0f-839c-a8308b210517/ian-kirkland-fajd6dw7EAA-unsplash.jpg Approach Bring Nature to Suburbia https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6165d36b059a2f0a33ceb7f7/0674e713-acc4-4059-a93e-47df1737d64c/zoe-schaeffer-KQMLfA8L5Os-unsplash.jpg Approach https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6165d36b059a2f0a33ceb7f7/06903825-d14b-4626-9712-f8c02b7726e7/IMG_3123.jpg Approach Enjoy the Diversity of Your Crops https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6165d36b059a2f0a33ceb7f7/cbf25300-f887-4e71-be08-86ae603fc451/robin-wersich-Q0IrpWQIMR4-unsplash.jpg Approach Create Spaces for Enjoyment https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6165d36b059a2f0a33ceb7f7/16315387-2beb-4bdc-9c26-5b8d8c123f6b/IMG_3488.jpg Approach Use Basil & Borage for Garden Gimlets https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6165d36b059a2f0a33ceb7f7/18bf0f47-c454-4bd8-9120-4f7c5fa0d1c9/markus-spiske-bk11wZwb9F4-unsplash.jpg Approach https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6165d36b059a2f0a33ceb7f7/05ebd578-9825-4ab8-a10a-bb9ff6f6a3e8/shalev-cohen-uRlnISgCtME-unsplash.jpg Approach Make Use of Vertical Space https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6165d36b059a2f0a33ceb7f7/4896a507-6edd-4d1d-ae3f-867a9ab92ecb/markus-spiske-Yy-dHQP-Ax0-unsplash.jpg Approach Rainbow Swiss Chard for Colour https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6165d36b059a2f0a33ceb7f7/33e81f7b-fbc4-4aaf-be74-2545bf5f1465/kalei-peek-L67hgvTOYT0-unsplash.jpg Approach Make Greenspaces You Love https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6165d36b059a2f0a33ceb7f7/e8363b8a-7d62-4cbd-8ac4-b7d6dd2350d7/morgane-le-breton-rqIr5yFIaGc-unsplash.jpg Approach Create Magical Spaces
