We specialize in the design and construction of community gardens, school food gardens, and backyard-scale edible gardens. Congruent with the ethics and principle of Permaculture, the process of design is as important as the product. Through community consultation processes we have completed several. They include the Cottonwood Community Garden Extension in East Vancouver, Canada and the Southern Field Food Forest project in Wellington, NZ and the Garden for Indigenous Nutrition and Traditional Ecological Knowledge at UBC Farm. In the development of these projects, we've collaborated with groups like Community Studio, Innermost Community Gardens and Think and Eat Green at School, Canada.

Please get in touch if you'd like us to help facilitate a design process at your home, school or community garden: consciousdesigncollective(at)gmail.com
