An online program:
Designed to guide you seamlessly through designing a regenerative, wildlife-attracting garden that supports your wellbeing and helps you reconnect with nature.
Where your sanctuary takes shape.
You dream of dining outside.
Of spotting birds from the kitchen window and knowing your garden can weather droughts, downpours and summers that scorch.
Instead, you’re staring at a blank canvas that feels more like a dumping ground than a retreat.
You want low-maintenance beauty.
Lush layers that draw butterflies in, shady nooks to escape the heat and greenery that flows seamlessly into your home.
You're waiting for that exhale.
The shoulder-dropping moment you step outside into a sanctuary that supports your wellbeing as much as it protects your home.
A garden that drowns out the noise.
Peace in a fast-paced world.
The problem? You don’t know how to make it happen.
The overwhelm of doing it alone keeps you stuck, and the sanctuary you’ve been imagining still feels just out of reach.
Until now.
How thriving gardens really
come to life.
Every garden that thrives...
The ones that feel resilient, regenerative and deeply grounding...
The ones that flow seamlessly with your home, drawing you outside to reconnect and reset…
They're held together by three threads: art, science and strategy.
Art
Art shapes how it feels: layered, textured and flowing as naturally as your local bushland.
Science
Science gives it the integrity to endure extreme weather and restore ecosystems. Boosting biodiversity and climate-resilience.
Strategy
And the strategy makes it possible: knowing what to do, when to do it and how to balance what you take on yourself with what’s better left to experts.
From blank canvas to confident decisions.
I feel much more confident in stepping through the process to make logical decisions rather than staring at a blank canvas.

The Biodiverse Sanctuary
with Kate and Jono
An online program designed to guide you step by step through designing a biodiverse, resilient, low-maintenance garden that’s woven seamlessly into the way you live.
A garden that doesn’t just look good, but lives with you.
You’ll finally have a clear, personalised plan you can trust. One that shows you how your garden will look, how it will function, and how to bring it to life sustainably.

You'll learn what to plant, where to place it and the order to bring it all together, so it thrives for years to come.
You’ll know what you can do yourself, what’s better outsourced, and how to avoid wasting money on things that won’t last.
You’ll design your garden to weather real life.
Create lush landscapes that hold strong through scorching summer heat, sudden autumn downpours, and the dry spells in between while still being low-maintenance enough to enjoy without endless upkeep.
Add long-term value to your home with biodiverse landscapes that grow more beautiful and more valuable with time.
In short, your garden stops being a source of overwhelm and becomes a source of life. A space that protects, restores, and gives back. To you, your family, and the ecosystems around you.
And we can do it in seven simple steps.
How We Bring Your Sanctuary To Life
Inside The Biodiverse Garden Blueprint, you’ll move through seven core modules, each one layering design, science and strategy so your garden plan takes shape with clarity and confidence.
By the end, you’ll have a complete design package: your vision brief, site analysis, scaled site plan, planting plan, materials schedule and a personalised installation roadmap to bring it all to life.
Module 1
The Dream Garden Mastermind
Shape a vision that feels uniquely yours and sets the tone for every decision that follows.
In this module, you’ll:
Define how you want to live outside: places to gather, pockets to retreat, green views from key rooms.
Map priorities (privacy, shade, kids’ play, veg beds, bush food, bird baths) so the design serves daily life.
Set resilience goals (cooler summers, flood-ready, drought-wise) and your maintenance capacity.
Leave with a simple vision brief that guides every decision that follows.
Module 2: The Site Analysis Accelerator
Discover the hidden patterns of your land so your garden works with nature, not against it.
In this module, you’ll:
-
Read sun, wind and water so you harness microclimates instead of fighting them.
-
Understand levels, drainage and retaining so structure and soil work in your favour.
-
Identify constraints and opportunities (deadzones, harsh corners, existing assets, habitat corridors).
-
Leave with a site analysis map that shows where each function wants to live.

Module 3: The Scaled Site Plan Strategy
Turn your vision into a tangible layout that flows effortlessly and feels serene to live in.
In this module, you’ll:
-
Lay out zones and circulation so moving through the garden feels effortless.
-
Use negative space and sightlines for breathing room and green views from every window.
-
Lock in levels, edges and anchor points (including planning for a future canopy tree).
-
Leave with a scaled 2D site plan that fits your space and lifestyle.
Module 4: The Plant Palette Process
Curate a planting plan that brings texture, colour and wildlife to your space all year round.
In this module, you’ll:
-
Build a species-rich palette suited to your conditions and aesthetic (wild yet ordered, layered and lush).
-
Plot foreground/midground/background for depth and year-round interest.
-
Choose habitat-supporting species to invite birds, butterflies and beneficial insects.
-
Leave with a planting plan and quantities list so you know exactly what to buy and where it goes.
Module 5: The Materials Selection Method
Choose finishes and structures that elevate your space while standing the test of time.
In this module, you’ll:
-
Select low-tox, durable, cost-effective materials that suit your climate and style.
-
Place paths, patios and edges strategically for longevity, accessibility and ease of care.
-
Create a simple sourcing brief so suppliers/contractors understand the standard you expect.
-
Leave with a materials schedule that complements your planting and home.
Module 6: The Installation Roadmap
Bring your design to life with a clear, step-by-step plan that saves time, money and stress.
In this module, you’ll:
-
Get the exact order of operations, from earthworks to planting, so nothing is done twice.
-
Decide what to DIY vs. outsource, and prepare clear briefs for contractors.
-
Phase your project to fit time and budget, with seasonal timing to set plants up to thrive.
-
Leave with a personalised step-by-step plan (timeline, tasks, suppliers) that takes you from plan to sanctuary.

I went from staring at bare earth to creating a garden that finally feels like home.
“Before the course, I felt stuck and overwhelmed. Hiring professionals felt out of reach and I didn’t want to waste money on mistakes. Following the step-by-step process gave me clarity and confidence. Now our garden is taking shape — nurturing our wellbeing, supporting the environment and feeling like a natural extension of our home.”

Build It Once. Build It to Last.
The real reason most people stall on their dream garden isn’t because they know if they get it wrong, they’ll pay for it twice.
Once in money and again in regret.
It's because nurturing plants isn’t like repainting a wall or buying new furniture. A garden takes seasons, even years, to grow into itself. And the thought of wasting all that time, effort and capital on something that feels wrong, or worse, doesn’t survive the summer, is paralysing.
That's why this process matters.
Instead of rushing in with guesstimates, it gives you clarity. What to do first, what to leave until later, what you can tackle yourself and what’s better outsourced. It’s how you avoid the expensive re-dos, the failed plantings and the “we should have done it differently” conversations.
Instead, you move forward knowing each step builds on the last. You’re creating a biodiverse haven that supports wildlife, holds strong through drought, flood, and heat, and grows more lush and more valuable every single year.
Now I know I’m doing it right.
“I have the tools and strategies I need to do my landscaping project properly… and it feels good to know I’m creating a garden that actually lasts.”

Meet Kate and Jono
We didn’t start out as landscapers. We started our careers as artists. Which means we see gardens a little differently. They’re not just outdoor spaces. They’re living sculptures.
With backgrounds in fine art, permaculture and over a decade of hands-on landscape construction experience, we bring both design sensibility and practical know-how to every project.
That's why our gardens look whimsical and layered yet ordered, and why they’re built to stand the test of time.
But this work isn’t just professional. For us, it’s personal.
A few years ago, we were burnt out from fast-paced careers, worried about climate change and craving a way to switch off.
Creating our own biodiverse garden changed everything. We grew food, attracted birds and insects we’d never seen before, and discovered the simple joy of mushrooms in autumn or birdsong outside the kitchen window. We felt calmer, healthier and more connected.
That experience cemented our belief that gardens are more than decoration. They’re places of sanctuary, resilience and wellbeing. Today, we help others create the same.
Spaces that nurture ecosystems, boost mental health, protect homes and grow in value with every season.
Where every plant has a purpose and the whole system works together.
Because when you align your home with nature, you don’t just end up with a garden. You end up with a nourishing way of life.
FAQS
When does the course start?
As soon as you’re ready. The course is fully online and self-paced, so you can dive in today a in nd move through the modules at your own rhythm.
Do I get lifetime access?
Yes. Once you enrol, you’ll have ongoing access to all the course materials, resources, and bonuses. So you can revisit them anytime, even years from now.
It seems like a big investment. Why should I spend this much?
Because the cost of getting it wrong is much higher. When you design without a roadmap, even small missteps, like planting before drainage is sorted or choosing species that won’t survive your climate, can snowball into major expenses and wasted time. This course saves you from those costly mistakes by giving you a clear plan that lasts.
I don’t have any gardening experience…will this work for me?
Absolutely. The course is beginner-friendly and gives you step-by-step guidance, so you’ll know what to do and when to do it. Whether you’re starting from scratch or reshaping an existing garden, you’ll finish with a design plan you can trust.
Will this course suit my climate?
Yes. You’ll learn how to read your site, identify your microclimate, and choose plants and materials that thrive in your conditions. The framework adapts to any climate zone.
Is my space too big or too small?
Not at all. The process works for courtyards, suburban blocks, and larger rural properties. The principles scale to fit your space.
What if I don’t have a big budget for the build?
You don’t need one. The course shows you how to prioritise, source affordable materials, and stage your garden over time — so you can create something meaningful at your pace.
What if I’m not ready yet?
There’s no perfect time to start. With lifetime access, you can take the course now and move through it when you’re ready. What matters is having the plan in place, so when you are ready, you know exactly what to do.
Do I need special tools or software?
No. All you need is a notebook, a pencil, and access to the course portal.
Will I complete a garden design by the end of the course?
Yes. If you follow the process, you’ll have a complete package: a 2D site plan, a planting plan, a materials schedule, and an installation roadmap to bring your garden to life.
Do I need to be based in Australia?
No. The course is fully online and can be taken from anywhere in the world.
