Nestled in Booker Bay, this 8m x 3m edible garden is a thriving and productive space that supplies Pachamama Catering, a garden-to-plate food business dedicated to fresh, seasonal ingredients. Every inch is carefully utilised, blending permaculture principles with a passion for sustainable growing. Originally a simple grassy lawn when Ali purchased the property in 2019, the garden has since been transformed with the guidance of her partner, Marcelo, a dedicated permaculture student. Now, climbing passionfruit vines sprawl along the fence, while papaya trees add a tropical touch. A rich diversity of herbs, edible flowers, and specialty greens flourish, providing an abundance of fresh, organic, colourful produce for the kitchen.

We came to our present house 30 years ago, It is a 3/4-acre block of south facing steep hillside. The block had been partly cultivated by previous owners. It had a 40ft olive tree, a grape vine, a persimmon, several guavas and every weed in captivity. We did not attempt to permaculture the block, but it did influence our activities. We installed water tanks and drainage. I am attempting to become self-sufficient in compost production using resources from the garden and free resources. Also, I produce my own biochar and seaweed teas. We have planted 17 assorted fruit and nut trees. This is a young food forest. Because of the shade from the bush surrounding the rear of the garden we have a short growing season. Please come and have a look.
