About me

Hi, my name is Tamara.

I am passionate about welcoming the WILD back to our urban spaces through the creation of Food Forests or Forest Gardens.

Since 2022, I have immersed myself in the study of permaculture and am completing the remaining 10% of a practical herbalist diploma. In addition, I have recently completed the four foundational Soil Food Web courses.

My mission is to live in harmony and alignment with our planet home, increase our self-reliance and health by growing our own food and herbal medicines, to nurture our Souls through the beauty and wonder it creates, and nurture our need for connection and community building. 

The food forest is in its third year and takes up my entire front and backyard using permaculture principles. A rainwater harvesting system connected to drip irrigation provides the water for the majority.

If you would love to learn more about creating a food forest in your yard or on your land. Please feel free to reach out!

What I offer

Permaculture

Permaculture is a whole and mindful philosophy, an ecological design system for harmonious and abundant living and being that is aligned with nature's rhythms. Creating vibrant soil health is an essential component.  

Creating Food Forests

Creating intentionally designed food forest/forest garden systems made primarily of perennial plants, trees, flowers and herbs that are multi-functional and beautiful and provide an abundance of medicinal properties.

Herbology/Medicinal Gardens

I have completed 90% of a Practical Herbalist Diploma from Wild Rose College of Herbal Medicine to assist people in growing and harvesting medicinal plants for teas and herbal medicines.

If you are interested in exploring food abundance, self-sufficiency, pollinator gardens, rainwater harvesting, or herbs to support our health and well-being, I would love to hear from you!
