“I am using  the services of Donovan to restore the garden and land on our property at Coopers Shoot. Donovan’s extensive knowledge and expertise has provided us with many ideas in what trees and plants to keep and what to introduce to landscape our property. Donovan is great to work with having the ability to listen to our vision and then provide us with sustainable and imaginative solutions to achieve a beautiful environment. We would highly recommend his services.”

Bev Jeffreys, Coopers Shoot

“Our property was a monoculture of setaria grass, and pretty damaged by cattle when we started planning and planting with Donny. Now it is rich in biodiversity, with lots and lots of bird life, native habitat and heaps and heaps of food for us! We collect so much food from our gardens all through the year, have very little pest damage, and now we live among a very healthy and self sustaining eco system. The amount of work the property needs is a pleasant amount because Donny knew what plants would do well at our place and would do well being planted side by side. Stoked! Thanks Donnie”

“We found ourselves the proud owners of some magnificent acreage and felt the need to improve it with professional regeneration. Donovan was recommended and after lengthy discussion formed and implemented a plan with the twin aims of growing a superb rain forest as well as including koala food trees for an expanding koala corridor. We started with tube stock and only one year later our forest is a beautiful reality and thanks to Donovan and his team’s expertise we have lost only a small number of trees. It’ll be special to leave such a legacy behind us largely due to Donovan’s expert knowledge and capacity for hard work.”
