STONE HEAVEN

This property faced a unique but not uncommon challenge, much of the land had limited solar access to grow food due to existing plantings and aspect etc. There was one decent sized area facing north to north west but it was too steep to safely and easily access and grow food on. The brief here was simple, terrace the site to reduce the incremental slopes in preparation for a food forest. Dry stacked sandstone was the obvious option for its beauty and longevity, plus there were some existing sandstone walls in the site to blend in with and surrounding bushland with beautiful sandstone abound.

We were very happy to be a part of this project and lay the foundations for a wonderful food forest to flourish.

The greatest change we need to make is from consumption to production, even if on a small scale, in our own gardens. If only 10% of us do this, there is enough for everyone.

“The greatest change we need to make is from consumption to production, even if on a small scale, in our own gardens. If only 10% of us do this, there is enough for everyone. Hence the futility of revolutionaries who have no gardens, who depend on the very system they attack, and who produce words and bullets, not food and shelter.” – Bill Mollison
