Our traditional English style garden provides a tranquil mix of deciduous trees, perenials
and rose gardens providing relaxation for the adults, whilst surrounding a children's paradise of open lawn areas and play
equipment. The productive areas of vegetable beds, fruit trees, chook pens and cow paddocks contribute
by way of providing food for the table, but in addition, every inhabitant is appreciated as a valued
member, contributing to the whole system in a multitude of ways.
Our aim is to create a sustainable ecostructure catering for our own requirements
whilst living in harmony with the environment.
Our aim is to grow the majority of our own food on
the strictest budget permissable, using organic methods where ever possible and producing good quality,
home bred food free from poisons, hormones, antibiotics and genetic modification. Our goal is to achieve self sufficiency,
sustainability and reduce our impact on the environment.
Our system demonstrates that many permaculture
principles CAN be put to practice whilst maintaining areas of recreation and beauty in the traditional gardening sense. Whilst
our goals are a long way from being achieved, the journey towards our ideal lifestyle is both fascinating and rewarding.
We hope that by sharing our experiences, others
hesitating to take the step towards an alternative lifestyle, will feel inspired to reconsider the benefits of achievable
alternatives to modern day living.
