Our Ethos
It is at the centre of our practice as gardeners that the environment should always come first. We build our gardens in response to the landscape and ecology around them. Our gardens prioritise endemic species, observe natural water courses, climate conditions, and encourage food and habitat sources for native fauna.
We believe that private gardens are a significant part of public environmental concerns, so making choices that will sustain the equilibrium of our ecology is important for the future of our planet.
Equilibrium Gardens is committed to;
Selecting plants of local provenance from nurseries with good seed collection ethics
Not using harmful fertilisers, pesticides and chemicals that will inflict long term damage on the health of soil
Ensuring that materials used are not harming the environment (i.e. not using bush rock, excess water, and certain petrol tools)
Removal of all environmental weeds from properties we work on
Planting within the conditions of being endemic, highly aesthetic, or purposeful
Educating community and bringing attention to the importance of local ecosystems
Creating habitat for local wildlife
Through these commitments we hope to mitigate our footprint as a gardening business, and ensure that our practices work towards not just sustaining, but regenerating our planet!
