About Us

Small Ecological Footprint

Working with ecological systems is central to what we do. We strive to integrate a holistic approach, encouraging biodiversity, reducing noise pollution and improving climate resiliency as much as possible by:

  • Focusing on local and Indigenous plants, pollinators and predators

  • Manual and battery-powered tools

  • Charging with Solar Energy

  • Drought-resistant systems

  • Compost education and creation

  • Rain catchment
