Who Is Edible Landscaping?

Edible Landscaping is a small company run exclusively by Michele Fitzsimmons, permaculture designer and educator. Since the mid 90s Michele has been developing her edible landscaping ethos. Having completed a permaculture design course in 1992, Michele decided to turn her hand to creating edible gardens and wildlife gardens which would benefit the community she was living in. Taking on the role of designer and project manager Michele got together with residents and permaculture enthusiasts and created several community gardens and local food projects.

Since then Michele has worked with a range of clients to improve their environment and to create sustainable gardens and landscapes. These projects include integrated farm designs, school wildlife gardens, community gardens & household kitchen gardens. Edible Landscaping’s philosophy in working with people is to start where they are at, inspire them with the possibilities and create an edible landscape design which they have ownership of and can take pride in.
