Natural Gardeners

About

Our gardens are built on the belief that from healthy soils, grow healthy plants, grow healthy people.

Natural Gardeners are a Melbourne based organic garden maintenance and landscape gardening company. We have been providing organic garden care, consultation, garden design, and landscape construction services for 5 years and pride ourselves on creating beautiful gardens for people that utilise permaculture design principles, available and recycled materials, and organic gardening practices

We practice organic gardening methods that build and support soil life using only organic forms of fertiliser and do not use synthetic herbicides or pesticides.

Organic garden maintenance is particularly suited to food gardens although we proudly maintain large ornamental gardens which benefit from the increased soil life that organic gardening supports.

Natural gardeners have extensive experience in soil building, tree and vine pruning, weeding, plant and soil advice, organic treatment of plant pest and disease, mulching, and composting

As much as possible we try to utilise garden waste on site and therefore strongly encourage composting. Composting builds soil, fertilises, increases soil life, and reduces maintenance costs. Composting options can be discussed, and does not necessarily have to be a bin or 1mtr³ pile. If composting is not feasible we are able to remove garden prunings, clippings etc.

Portable food gardens called ‘Bunk Beds’ are designed and built to use where space limitation or garden portability is important.

‘Bunk Beds’ are made by Natural Gardeners in Brunswick from reclaimed wood and food transport barrels (plastic is food grade and UV stable) in a welded steel frame. Frame can be fitted with wheels and cloche hoops increasing portability and keeping garden protected from birds, possums, sun, etc.
