Growing Roots Permaculture is a collective of growers with a passion for sustainable, creative landscaping.

Specialising in food forestry, the team work cohesively with nature to incorporate seasonality and supportive planting techniques to create a diverse and integrative system. Layering plants based on their growth potential, production cycle, seasonality and size creates a dense forested environment with a natural forest feel.

Food forests are intentionally designed and carefully manicured for optimum production and ease of maintenance. Our growers combine food production, education and nursery stock sales to new food gardens and farms. Our tropical food crops offer a diversity of produce, with several varieties of bananas, native and introduced varieties of root and other vegetables such as taro, cassava, ginger, turmeric, tropical fruits, tropical greens and herbs - plus a range of cool-season herbs and vegetables more commonly utilised in European diets. Our Vision is to creatively regenerate degraded agriculture and urban lands and convert them into a diverse food paradise. Through our primary education offering, 'Living Agroecology ', we train and support land managers to grow food and regenerate landscape function with the support of the design methodology and techniques we practice in our allotments at The Farm.
