Welcome

Food Forest & or Medicinal Herb Garden Creation

About me

Hi, my name is Tamara.

I am passionate about welcoming the WILD back to our urban spaces or land through the creation of Food Forests and/or Medicinal Herb gardens in the Okanagan, BC.

I took a Permaculture Design Course 2022, which altered my life and trajectory in the deepest possible way! Since then, I have been creating a Food Forest in my front and back yards, now in its fourth year and thriving, alive with food, beauty, pollinators, birds, wildlife, and herbal medicine! A rainwater harvesting system connected to drip irrigation provides much of the water for the plants.

I am a practical herbalist through Wild Rose College and have completed the four foundational Soil Food Web courses.

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

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, shrubs and herbs that are multi-functional and provide an abundance of medicinal properties and beauty.

Herbology/Medicinal Gardens

I have completed 98% 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!
