Regenerative Agriculture + Agroforestry

ECOSYSTEM MIMICRY

Our regenerative approach to agriculture design + agroforestry is nothing new. In fact, the roots of the methods we choose are rather ancient at their core. Our focus is to mimic natural ecosystems by creating maximum diversity & life in the soil.  Healthy soils = healthy plants. When you create an agriculture site with ecology in mind, the system maintains itself. Regenerative Agriculture is process-based agriculture, rather than input based agriculture.

Permaculture + Food Forest Design

Through our  comprehensive on-site consultations, we carefully listen  to your personal wishes & combine them with the needs of the property when we are creating your integrated design; always regarding your input  when applying our knowledge & experience using permaculture principles & philosophies.  Our designs can include water conservation/storage & bioaccumulation methods & will address specific plant lists that are suitable for the site location & climate.

 

Ecological + Edible Landscaping

GreenDreams can help you create your very own edible & ecological landscape that not only has long-term curb appeal, but can also provide nourishment for you, for the local wildlife & for the land itself.  The old habits & philosophies of growing grass lawns are being challenged; turf needs loads of water & is well-known as being "chemically dependent", not to mention the chore keeping your lawn “groomed”.  Instead of a boring stretch of grass, imagine having an edible oasis right outside your door that is loaded with the most delicious fruits, nuts, veggies, herbs & spices all year long!   Our designs include the best varieties of edible/useful species; mulch crops, species that provide bio-accumulation, nitrogen & other mineral fixation & plants that attract beneficial insects, etc.

Organic Vegetable Gardens

We can assist you with your full garden project at your home, business, school & even can offer help with community garden plans!  We can help you as much as you need, from initial design, compost & mulch ammendments, custom raised beds or natural beds & paths (food forest style). 

Butterfly + Sensory Gardens

Whether or not you wish to fill your garden with edibles, adding plant choices that attract butterflies & other beneficial insects is often desired.  Not only will you be able to enjoy the beauty of fluttering throughout your garden, but the plant choices for the butterfly gardens are just as beautiful, with the rainbow of flowers that attract them; milkweed, firebush, salvias, native perennial sunflowers, anise hyssop, black-eyed susans & more.  After our design & installation of your butterfly garden, you will be able to take a seat & find peaceful entertainment.

 

Besides our butterfly plant choices, we also love to install those plants whose smells can transport your senses.  Most gardeners are familiar with the scents of gardenias & jasmine, so along with those choices - we can also make suggestions for new species that provide the same intoxicating smells that not only attract us, but also the bees!  Sweet almond is our top choice for the sensory experience, plus we always like to add herbs to this list; mints, basils, anise, lemon balm & lemon verbena - that way you can use the choices for more than just the scent. 

Natives + Florida Friendly Landscapes

Best of both worlds: Have the best looking landscape  & don't worry about having to spend enormous amounts of time trying to maintain it.  When you choose plants that are inginous or well-adapted for the hot/humid conditions of this area, you can fullfill your dream of having a low-input landscape that can exist even when you forget all about it (but our guess is that you won't). 

We combine many of the Florida favorites with butterfly attractors & other sensory plants, so that you can just sit & enjoy either from a window or outside.
