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.
And beneath it all, you want to know your garden gives back.
That every tree, every layer of planting, every patch of habitat that’s restored is protecting your home and the planet.
You're waiting for that exhale.
The shoulder-dropping moment you step outside into
a sanctuary that supports your wellbeing, reduces your footprint and supports local ecosystems.
Peace in a fast-paced world.
Resilience in a changing one.
The problem? You don’t know how to make it happen.
The overwhelm of doing it alone keeps you stalled, 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 pause and reset…
The ones that shift with the seasons, cooling your home in summer, holding water in winter and bursting with life as spring returns...
They’re all held together by three threads: art, science and strategy.
Art
Art shapes how it feels: layered, textured and alive with movement—flowing as naturally as the bushland beyond your fence.
Science
Science ensures it lasts: grounding your garden in evidence-based design that gives it ecological integrity. Every choice is backed by natural patterns and proven processes that reduce your footprint, future-proof your home and restore biodiversity.
Strategy
And the strategy that 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 the experts, so every step strengthens both your garden and the ecosystems it impacts.

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.
Roellen, VIC
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 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 abundant 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 Sanctuary, you’ll move through seven core modules, each one layering art, science, and strategy so your garden takes shape with ease.
Module 1
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.
The Dream Garden Mastermind
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 should live.
Module 2
Module 3
The Scaled Site Plan Strategy
Turn your vision into a tangible layout that flows effortlessly and feels serene to live in.
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 future canopy trees).
Leave with a scaled 2D site plan that fits your space and lifestyle.
In this module, you’ll:
Module 4
The Problem Area Planner
Uncover the hidden potential in every tricky corner so no space is wasted and every part of your garden contributes to the whole
In this module, you’ll:
Spot common problem areas (like dead zones, steep slopes or waterlogged patches) and learn proven strategies to fix them.
Transform “lost” corners into functional havens. From rain gardens that slow stormwater to shady retreats or pollinator patches.
Use biodiversity as your ally to create microhabitats that support wildlife, balance ecosystems and strengthen resilience.
Match solutions to your lifestyle and resources so fixes are practical, sustainable and built to last.

Module 5
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 so you know exactly what to buy and where it goes.
Choose finishes and structures that elevate your space while standing the test of time.
Module 6
The Materials Selection Method
In this module, you’ll:
Select low-tox, durable, cost-effective materials that suit your climate and style.
Place paths, patios and edges 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 7
The Installation Roadmap
Bring your design to life with a clear, step-by-step plan that saves time, money and stress.
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.
In this module, you’ll:

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.

What You Get
Most people stall on their dream garden for one reason: if you get it wrong, you’ll pay for it twice.
First in money, then in regret.
A garden isn’t like repainting a wall or buying new furniture. It takes seasons, even years, to grow into itself.
And the thought of wasting all that time, effort, and budget on something that feels out of place, or worse, doesn’t survive the weather, is paralysing.
Build It to Last.
Build It Once.
That's why this process matters.
It doesn’t ask you to rush in with guesswork.
It gives you the clarity of order: 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 walk forward knowing each step builds on the last. You’re creating a haven that holds strong through drought, flood, and heat, and grows more inviting 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.

A nourishing way of life
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.
It’s why our gardens look whimsical and layered yet ordered. And why they’re built to stand the test of time.
_edited_edited.jpg)
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 foraging for earthy mushrooms.
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.
Because when you align home life with nature, you don’t just end up with a garden. You end up with a nourishing way of life.
From Bare Earth To
Biodiverse Sanctuaries
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 and 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 in 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 own 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 tahe 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.
