Three Bridges, VIC (Q1 2021)
This project applies to a private property in cool temperate climate in the Yarra Valley.
The purpose of the design is to rehydrate the landscape and improve the grazing capacity of a paddock within the property. It entails a series of soil conditioning practices prior to the establishment of a perennial silvopasture with possible swales on contour, the creation of a wildlife corridor in collaboration with the Ribbons of Green program (Yarra Ranges Council), and the establishment of rotational grazing practices.
This design is now complete and the implementation work is ongoing, phased over 12 months.
Westburn, VIC (Ongoing)
This project applies to the ECOSS community centre in cold temperate climate in the Yarra Ranges.
The purpose of the design is to create a Food Forest that constitutes a demonstration of edible landscapes and education site for the public. Several goals were expressed by the committee team and are met in the design.
This is an ongoing project as part of an advanced permaculture course on food forest design and progressing in collaboration with other students.
Campagne, France (Q1-Q2 2019)
This project applies to a brand new 1/2-acre lot that is rented-out to my mum and is located in mediterranean climate in the South of France.
The purpose of the design was to create an aesthetic space while respecting the permaculture ethics as well as the owner’s expectations, and making sure the design would be humble enough to fit within tight budget, timeline and manpower restrictions.
I documented the project and work done in the following blog post: Permaculture In Action at: My Mum’s
The food forest was planted the following year: How to establish a food forest
