Garden Consultation
We can focus on a set of problems you are facing in regards to plant or soil health, pruning, irrigation and water use, or we could even make a start on a concept design sketch. This service is a good way to become introduced and see what is possible when getting a full garden design drawn up.
Investment: $150.00 +gst for 1 hour or $100.00 +gst per hour there after.
Simon gave us specific answers to questions about difficult areas in our garden and provided some great pointers for things he noticed that we wouldn’t have even thought to ask. Simon was friendly and really efficient in fitting so much into the session. I would definitely recommend this to anyone wanting a little guidance.

Rural Consultation
A focus on context development for the property; considering the resource base and quality of life for the owner and manager followed by the ecological needs of the environment. This approach ensures a good foundation for developing a life around a piece of land and encourages interaction with landscapes in a way which fulfils, rather than constrains or burdens.
Investment: $150.00 +gst per hour plus regional travel time.
Simon’s approach used permaculture design principles to rethink access, water storage and paddock placement. He reorganised the entire property into a workable farm space using drones to map major contours and provide an entirely new way of reading the landscape.
Simon’s creativity, experience and extensive knowledge of regenerative land use practices delivered a plan that has turbo-charged our farm start-up. Simon worked in true partnership, not just with us, but with a number of other consultants, to deliver important data that fleshed out every facet of our plan.
Simon’s final report and detailed drawings have formed the basis of all our forward planning including development applications, dam construction, livestock planning and revegetation. His input has been invaluable.
