Growing food is easy! Gathering fruit, vegetables and herbs straight from the back yard is a rewarding experience. We can help you design and implement different kinds of food gardens, from large scale ‘edible landscapes’ through to small raised beds and traditional ‘vegie patches’.

With good design an edible landscape can provide all the aesthetic benefits of a purely ornamental garden. This means using many perennial food plants, especially shrubs and trees, providing a relatively low maintenance garden with fresh produce as an added bonus. Our award-winning Hughesdale garden combines edible and ornamental plants, grey water recycling and chickens. Click here to see our gallery of food gardens, including Hughesdale.

Van Leeuwen Green is excited by the resurgent interest in food production. We’ve had requests for basic advice and consultation as well as projects that include full re-design and renovation of gardens to produce fruit and vegetables. Whatever your interest in food gardens, please don’t hesitate to contact us for advice.
