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!
