Welcome

Food Forest & or Medicinal Herb Garden Creation

About me

Hi, my name is Tamara.

I am passionate about welcoming the WILD back to our urban spaces or land through the creation of Food Forests and/or Medicinal Herb gardens in the Okanagan, BC.

Since 2022, I have immersed myself in the study of permaculture and am completing the remaining 1% of a practical herbalist diploma. In addition, I have recently completed the four foundational Soil Food Web courses.

My mission is to live in harmony and alignment with our planet home, increase our self-reliance and health by growing some of our own food and herbal medicines, to nurture our Souls through the beauty and wonder it creates, as well as our need for connection and community building.

My front and back yard food forest is in its forth year, and a rainwater harvesting system connected to drip irrigation provides the water for the plants.

What I offer

Permaculture

Permaculture is a whole and mindful philosophy, an ecological design system for harmonious and abundant living and being that is aligned with nature's rhythms. Creating vibrant soil health is an essential component.

Creating Food Forests

Creating intentionally designed food forest/forest garden systems made primarily of perennial plants, trees, shrubs and herbs that are multi-functional and provide an abundance of medicinal properties and beauty.

Herbology/Medicinal Gardens

I have completed 98% of a Practical Herbalist Diploma from Wild Rose College of Herbal Medicine to assist people in growing and harvesting medicinal plants for teas and herbal medicines.

If you are interested in exploring food abundance, self-sufficiency, pollinator gardens, rainwater harvesting, or herbs to support our health and well-being, I would love to hear from you!
