Like many people I've had a real concern and interest in environmental issues and ecology - ever since I was a young boy.

I excelled at Biology and Horticulture at College and went on to gain the North Shore Horticultural Award and complete a Dip in Hort. Sci. I completed a Permaculture Design Course at Rainbow Valley Farm in 2009 with Darren Doherty. I'm also a trained chef and keen on nutrient dense food.

Permaculture has tied things together for me - it's completed the once elusive loop that I (and a lot of people) have been looking for. I now own my first home and manage my highly productive 1/4 acre urban permaculture farm called Makino Food Forest. I offer tours and various permaculture related courses to the wider community.

While my site provides various enterprises for sale and trade opportunities, I offer permaculture consultancy and assistance - while also being an active volunteer with native habitat restoration and permaculture oriented community projects.
