Hello, my name is Archie and I am the founder and owner of Gardens for Good.

Helping others discover the joy of home grown food is my passion. I am a proud and passionate home gardener and I care deeply for our precious planet. Gardening is a way for us to reconnect to the earth and home grown food is the most sustainable and ethical source of nutrition we have.

At this stage I am the only full time employee in my business and I do the vast majority of the work. I do call in extra hands for big jobs and heavy lifting if I need. Keeping my services small scale, consistent and affordable is a top priority for me. I want to engage with my clients, teach them what I know and have fun doing it!

Gardening is somewhat of an obsession for me and I have been doing it since I was a child. I just love getting my hands in the soil, caring for plants and feeling connected to my food. Nothing tastes better than home grown produce and once you have had it, you just don’t go back.

I’ve worked on large scale market gardens so I understand what it takes to pump out loads of good produce efficiently, while my permaculture design degree taught me how to look at our systems at home and refine their sustainability and functionality to suit us as individuals. Everyone is unique and so too their garden and home should be unique to suit them. I want to help you discover how growing food for you within your life, not how it works for me. Im happy to do lots of the work to get you started, but my preference is for my clients to be involved and learning every step of the way.
