Our garden tending often focuses on helping people prune their fruit trees, weeding, mulching, and tending to the spaces where food is grown.

This service is for people looking for a little support to get things back under control, a hand with some of the heavier tasks, or guidance in developing a more abundant and productive space.

Some common services include (but not limited to)

  • Pruning, health assessments, and integrated pest management for any common backyard fruit tree variety

  • Fruit tree consultations (offered through Nullimbik Nursery)

  • Food garden design using agro-ecology principles

  • Backyard bee keeping consultations and inspections

  • Hourly rates and monthly care plans available

We are relatively new to Victoria and are looking to build relationships here with local fire practitioners. What we hope to provide one day will be services to plan, prepare, and deliver cool, beneficial burns. If you are a fire practitioner and interested in chatting, or have land that you are interested in exploring opportunities for beneficial burning, please reach out here:

These burns can be employed for many reasons, including to help improve ecological function, germinate indigenous seed banks, improve habitat for wildlife, improve grazing land for livestock, manage invasive species, increase resilience to catastrophic fire, and reduce the risk of loss of life and property.

Our fire tending can include:

  • Plan development

  • Burn plot preparation

  • Equipment usage during the burn (portable tanks, hoses, pumps, slip-on unit)

  • Permit coordination

  • Operational map development

  • Burn delivery coordination and leadership

  • Post-burn follow-ups

  • Ecological monitoring

  • Burn mentorship and workshops
