Meet Kath Irvine, Edible Backyard, New Zealand

The kind of garden I wish for you is productive, beautiful and most of all easy. Sounds dreamy aye, but its totally doable.
Teaming up with the web of life is the way. The more life your garden supports, the stronger it is and the less you need do.
A huge paradigm shift in the way we garden, but what a thrilling ride! - I'm stoked to journey alongside you. As you let go and learn to trust natural processes you'll see that life has you and your garden in its hands. Put your trust in it, and it will steer you to Eden.
