We live and work on beautiful Southern Vancouver Island - the traditional homelands of the Lekwugen, Songhees, Esquimalt and W̱SÁNEĆ peoples. We are grateful!
We transform boring and under-utilized landscapes into abundant, food-producing landscapes, from backyards to farms to public parks & community spaces.

When developing a farm or acreage, it is important to harmonize with natural processes while optimizing ecological resources. Our design process considers factors like climate, topography,water, access, infrastructure, soil, vegetation, and human/financial resources to manage risk and leverage opportunities.
We design integrated water management systems that utilize all the tools in the toolbox - drainage ditches, swales, ponds, water retention spaces, silt traps, terraces, tree belts and most importantly, biologically active soil.
