With experience in sustainable design, project planning and management, Colin has a wide variety of experience in land-based projects with sustainability in mind. He has worked in settings ranging from small residential gardens to diverse organic farms, as well as rural smallholder farming in developing nations. In designing, planning and managing such projects, a balance of ecological, economic, social and other sustainability objectives is sought. This approach serves to raise awareness and take action on local and global issues like personal- and property-level resilience, biodiversity and conservation, and more. 

​Colin works both independently and in collaboration with advisors and colleagues to provide planning and implementation solutions for:
​
  • gardens and small scale farms using climate appropriate edible and native plants
  • rainwater harvesting and water management
  • simple and appropriate technologies
  • participatory community development

Providing both direct consultancy and contractor referrals to implement a Participatory Client Engagement Process for your project, working with Colin ensures a holistic approach for long term sustainability.

"Colin was instrumental in making our dreams for starting an urban farm a reality through his design and planning. He came to our sites,
surveyed the space and worked with us to create a design that then guided our further planning, implementation, and fundraising for the
program. Colin's designs helped us secure some of our first grants, kickstarting (our farms) into reality. I would highly recommend Colin's
work and expertise on all things sustainable agriculture design and planning, and helping turn your dreams into actual movement."
