What we do
We create gardens that grow and contract with you, with grace.
One input many outputs
It seems at the moment that every celebrity chef wants to be a gardener; every celebrity gardener wants to grow vegetables and every viewer wants the time and energy to do so. With busy lifestyles and smaller gardens the whole idea of growing your own veg is overwhelming. The permaculture idea of for one input; many outputs, over time reduces the amount of effort you input, as nature gives a strong helping hand.
Reused and reclaimed materials used whenever and wherever possible
It’s amazing how much “waste” goes into an URBANcottage organic permacultural garden. This could pay dividends with “pay as you throw” on the horizon.
Rainwater harvesting
With rainwater harvesting and rainwater gardens not only does this help prevent flash flooding by slowing down water on its way to the rivers, but it may actually reduce your water bill.
Food for you and your family
Rising petrol prices are already having a knock on effect at the supermarket checkout. URBANcottage permaculture design will create a garden that can contribute to your weekly food bill. Using food metres and not food miles, by having a productive garden you are ensuring part of your families’ food security.
An URBANcottage redesign or consultation can help make your garden work for you by creating a beautifully productive space.
