About Barefoot Gardens

Hi, I’m Josh Davis and I run Barefoot Gardens.

My aim with this work is to create edible ecosystems, not manicured gardens. Natural, wild spaces for you and the surrounding wildlife to not just enjoy, but be a part of. Gardens so inviting you want to kick off your shoes and walk barefoot through.

I believe that growing more diverse and edible plants in our gardens, and replacing grass is a simple way to create a little more habitat for wildlife, reduce our footprint and live a little more sustainably.

I am a certified Permaculture Designer, Teacher and Organic Horticulture Specialist. I specialise in edible, environmentally friendly landscapes.

I offer ecological landscape design, installation and maintenance in the Comox Valley area of Vancouver Island to help you grow your own organic food in a sustainable way. I want to help people in my community rewild their grass lawns into sustainable, food producing, natural gardens.

See some examples of recent projects here.

The services I offer include:

• Garden consultation to help you grow it yourself (offered remotely too)

• Food Forest Design and Install

• Raised bed or Hugelkultur design, installation and growing plan

• Full edible landscape garden design, and installation

• Education and workshops

• Electric or hand tool only maintenance to reduce the noise and air pollution

• Harvesting help throughout the growing season

• Fruit Tree pruning

In the off season for gardening I offer 1 on 1 Natural Movement Training, if there was a Permaculture equivalent to exercise this would be it. Find out more at www.joshdavismovement.com
