Welcome to Good Gardens!
Nestled on 12 acres of beautiful rural property near the picturesque town of Perth in Ontario, Canada, Good Gardens began in 2023 with just me, my wife, and our curious cat. Together, we’ve been transforming this land from dense brush into a vibrant food forest, guided by the principles of Transformative Gardening.
Our goal is to create a self-sustaining ecosystem that thrives and generates positive value for all its residents. With a lot of love, hard work, and a bit of guidance, we’re building a homestead that not only feeds us but also nurtures the land and its inhabitants.
Join us on this exciting adventure as we share our experiences, tips, and stories about growing our own food, raising happy poultry and livestock, and crafting everything we need to support our homestead. Good Gardens is a place to Grow, Harvest, & Share! 🌱🐓🚜
Our Vision 🌍✨
At Good Gardens, we envision a world where everyone has access to a garden and all its wonders. Gardens are more than just spaces; they are classrooms where one can learn invaluable life lessons and values from nature’s processes, fostering personal transformation.
Our Philosophy 🧠🌼
We believe that gardens operate on the fundamental law of physics: energy is neither created nor destroyed, only transformed. As gardeners, our role is to manage this transformation in a way that is both productive and protective for all involved.
Our Mission 🚀🌾
Good Gardens was founded to bring the principles of Transformative Gardening to everyone. We aim to help individuals cultivate their inner gardens using this philosophy, nurturing growth and harmony.
