JOIN US ON A JOURNEY
Sunshine Syntropics stands as a testament to the profound connection between regenerative agriculture and holistic wellness. We are dedicated to revitalising both the earth and the lives it sustains. Our comprehensive services—consultation, design, implementation, and garden care—reflect our commitment to nurturing the land and the individuals who depend on it.
CONSULTATION
We begin by deeply observing the land—reading its contours, considering existing structures, and integrating natural elements. We connect with its energy and collaborate closely with you, the custodian of the land. By understanding your project's specific context —from the lay of the land to your desires and available resources—we can recommend plant varieties that thrive naturally and contribute to a balanced ecology. Our aim is to establish systems that mimic the resilience and abundance of natural forests, which prosper without constant irrigation or fertilisation.
We will also encourage you to immerse yourself in your garden daily—sitting in different places, listening to its rhythms, and connecting with its spirit. It's in these quiet moments that the land reveals its wisdom, guiding you in co-creating a flourishing environment.
DESIGN
Based on the insights gained during our initial consultation, we will create a blueprint of your vision, incorporating a budget for its implementation, which will be detailed in a comprehensive report.
This document, along with our ongoing support, establishes a dynamic process where you, as the custodian of the land, take the lead as the primary designer. You will guide the project from initial concept to its final realisation.
The design phase is possibly the most important one, representing a profound collaboration among your vision, the natural landscape, and the accumulated wisdom of past custodians. Together, we will craft this partnership into a harmonious symphony of sustainable design.
IMPLEMENTATION
This is when the dream comes to life!
Depending on the size of the system, its implementation requires a minimum of 2 phases.
Phase 1, a couple of weeks before the full moon, we begin preparing the soil for the system, enriching it with the finest biodynamic compost available. This foundational work breathes life into the earth.
Phase 2 marks 'Planting Day' – a truly magical occasion occurring a few days after the full moon, when lunar energy draws deep into the soil, ideal for rooting. Leading up to this day, we encourage the land custodian to invite friends and family to join, allowing them to literally plant roots into the ground. It's always an awe-inspiring experience.
The seeds we sow and the plants we carefully place on that day symbolise the promise of life and foster the regeneration of the land in harmony with all living beings.
GARDEN CARE
Our journey extends far beyond "Planting Day". Education is at the heart of what we do, and there's no better teacher than hands-on experience.
Creating a syntropic food forest is 5% planting and 95% ongoing management. We'll guide you every step of the way, teaching you how to nurture and maintain your thriving ecosystem of abundance. This involves regular tasks such as pruning and seeding, typically done 2-3 times a year. Our mission is to empower you until you have a deep, intuitive understanding of your system, allowing you to sustain it independently.
Together, we ensure that your living dream not only survives but flourishes, evolves, and continues to inspire. It's a journey of transformation—for your land, for yourself, and for the magnificent tapestry of life unfolding before us.
