(projects i'm involved in)
I am a Landscape Architect working to design and implement sustainable landscapes.
I have a background in Organic Horticulture (I studied at CPIT under Holger Kahl and managed a Biodynamic Horticulture Unit on the Canterbury Plains), a love for growing food, and a desire to teach and share sustainable things.
CUURRENT PROJECTS include:
- a new school in Canterbury on 10 acres with cool temperate food forests, a large horticulture unit, native forested areas, extensive play gardens, amphitheatre, etc.
- an eco residential subdivision near Waihi with a 4-5 acre food forest, organic market garden, and niche horticultural enterprises.
- a science and edible garden at a South Auckland School with interactive play equipment, native plants for birds and insects, an orchard, kunekune pigs, chooks, etc.
