Garden restoration; creating a place to grow.
Take time today to breath and grow.
Learn how we can help you create space to flourish.
Introducing Frank
Do you want to see your garden as more than a maintenance job on the weekend? Let me and my friends help you enjoy your garden as a place of restoration where you can grow and flourish.
Working with my family in the pacific we have experienced community gardening as both a productive and cultural part of life we connect with earth, others and self. Working in conservation, agribusiness and education I am passionate about how the gift of nature can help us learn and grow at any age.
Introducing a community of skills
I love connecting people with dreams to people with the skills to make dreams come true. Through my interest and training in therapeutic horticulture I believe that the garden can be a place to connect with the wonder of creation, the friendship of others and deeper awareness of self and soul.
Let me introduce you to my friends who can help us help you with skills like occupational therapy, horticulture, garden design and landscaping. Part of the proceeds of our work goes to support small holder farming families around the world through strategic projects.
An invitation to partnership with planet, people and plants
I believe that when we live in a healthy habitat then we can live sustainably. We can all contribute to creating a healing habitat for life above and below the ground beyond simply our own needs.
So we contribute to co-creating a healing habitat, but also as we take time to enter into nature and understand nature, it becomes healing for us.
