A More Sustainable Adventure

Highly productive urban farm / Sustainable garden / Permaculture / Edible beauty / Fruit & Veggies

Welcome to Melbourne Foodforest! Here’s a bit about us.

About three years ago, we made the marvellous (or crazy?!) decision to convert every inch of our backyard into a productive working garden. We intermingle fruit trees, veggies, and companion flowers in many layers to create a space that nourishes our belly and our soul. We’ve made use of every inch of space including vertical space to create an edible jungle, teeming with life.

We have filled our garden with over 70 varieties of fruit, countless heirloom veggies, chickens, a productive pond with fish, four worm farms, compost bins, water tanks and a greenhouse. Currently we eat around 50% from our garden and we hope to increase this percentage as our garden evolves

Our philosophy to gardening is all about edible beauty – productive veggies and fruit trees intermingled with companion flowers – the best of both worlds. Our garden teaches us so much about life and resilience, and provides us with an abundance of organic produce year-round.

We are passionate about gardening sustainably. I’m a big believer that to succeed in the garden you don’t need to spend a lot of money or buy copious amounts of plastic packaged materials. You’ll see us use lots of recycled and salvaged materials.

My husband is the chef and shares recipes for delicious, wholesome ways to cook with and preserve your abundant harvests.

We are here to share all our tips, tricks on how you can successfully grow your own backyard foodforest. It is our mission to help make the world a little greener, one gardener at a time!
