Hi there, I'm Alex.
I've spent the last 5 years completely obsessed with subtropical food, timber and rainforest plants.. learning how to grow everything from locally collected seed and designing unique agroforestry systems that are purposely built to be beautiful, productive AND thrive on neglect.
Experiencing the worst drought on record, the worst floods on record, as well as searing heatwaves and frosts, I was utterly exhausted trying to keep things alive, not to mention wasting thousands of dollars on things that just didn't work. With none of the traditional gardening advice working, I knew I had to take a revolutionary approach to managing our land if we were going to make this work.
After over 10,000 hours of dedicated research, sifting through thousands of plant species and conducting 5 years of on-site trials, our 10 acre property has now transformed from a degraded cow paddock into thriving food and timber forests for long-term self-sufficiency. All without heavy machinery, irrigation an army of helpers or any chemicals. Not only is our land now a haven for birds, beneficial insects and wildlife, it's easy to manage and nourishes us with fresh produce every single day.
It's my mission to help rural property owners just like you create your dream food forest for lasting food and timber security, without the overwhelm or years of wasted effort!
I keep it simple, I keep it real, and I only recommend things I’ve actually tried.
Let's bring your dreams of green to life!
Alex 💚🌿

Prior to starting the food forest course my husband and I had absolutely no knowledge and no idea where to start.
While completing the course, we loved that Alex is not prescriptive in how she teaches. There is no ego - simply the desire to empower people to succeed in creating their own design which works in synergy with their desires/tastes and their property/climate.
Thanks Alex, we've learned so much and I can't recommend your course enough!
Thank you Alex for an amazing course! So many beautiful plants. I've really enjoyed the seed safaris and learning how to propagate.
There were so many plants in our local area that I had no idea what they were until I took your course, and now I'm collecting seed everywhere!
I loved that I was able to come up with a food forest design that will complement my yoga practice for years to come. AND that it can pretty much take care of itself if life gets busy!
Thanks again Alex.
Thanks so much Alex for coming out today! My daughter was so pumped after talking with you and sharing what her vision and plan is.
She was so appreciative of your encouragement in what she was doing, as opposed to others who like to tell her how she should do it differently and that their way is better!
So thank you for the course, for your inspiration and for encouraging us along the way. Trust you can keep doing what you love doing, as you do it in such a lovely, personable way.
