About Us

We Design & Build Food Gardens in Victoria, BC

Edible Landscapes & Foodscaping
 

We’ve been operating in Victoria, BC for 15 years! In that time, we’ve been so fortunate to have worked with hundreds of clients in the Capital Region, from residential clients to universities, schools, city parks and community gardens. 

Our business specializes in creating organic landscapes that produce food year-round and look amazing! We also strive to create a regenerative work environment for our staff by providing meaningful work paying a living wage.

In the city, we build edible landscapes (or ‘foodscapes’) and orchards for homeowners, community centers, schools, and universities.

On farmland, we help land managers shift to perennial, low-carbon agriculture with an emphasis on multi-functional tree crops, soil health, and holistic water management.

Tayler and the team at Hatchet and Seed did an incredible job. We initially set up a consultation where I had all my questions answered. We took it to the next step and where they designed the space and improved my vision and finally made it come to life. They were friendly, answered questions along the way (even from my 4 year old). They cleaned up daily and gave us an AMAZING garden with drip irrigation installation. My son and I are out daily, planting seeds and enjoying watching the progress. Their craftsmanship and materials were top quality and I know we will enjoy this garden for years to come. We look forward to produce lots of food for ourselves and hopefully lots to share with our neighbors and friends! I highly recommend!

Tyler and crew installed a rain garden to absorb excess water that usually floods our garden in winter. It really got put to the test with the atmospheric river rains of Nov/ 21 plus the snow in Dec. It worked wonderfully, and continues to look great in all seasons. A good investment assisted by their extensive knowledge and competence.

After a couple of years of building our veggie garden on our own we decided we wanted help to maximize our growing space, reduce work in keeping it up and make it look better. Hatchet and Seed did just that. Their design helped us significantly increase our growing space and has served us lots of time so we can focus on the parts of gardening that we enjoy. Plus it looks great and we love spending time in our new garden. Thanks!

Tayler and crew built some beautiful raised beds out of yellow cedar, brought in the soil, installed trickle irrigation (which was so useful during the "heat dome" of 2021), and delivered and spread the wood chip mulch in the pathways. The whole project completely transformed my back yard! I was very pleased with the results, and highly recommend them!

We are thoroughly satisfied with the garden project completed for us by the Hatchet & Seed crew. The ferro cement beds were a perfect solution for our property. In addition to being functional, the completed work looks great and blends in nicely with the landscape. Communication, quality of work, attention to detail, craftsmanship and tidiness of the work site were all excellent. Highly recommended!

Let's talk about your project idea.
