In the Garden with Alisa - Coaching Sessions
"I had Alisa help me with my new property I purchased in 2022. My new home had well establised vegetable patches and a large fruit orchard. Being a novice gardener I wanted to be guided on how to honour and nurture this beautiful garden that had so much love put into it.
Alisa listened and understood exactly what I needed help with and guided me with her holistic approach. Her knowledge of plants, soil and nature is amazing. And above all she is an absolute joy to be around, her energy and the way she explains everything is beautiful. Thank you Alisa for all your guidance."

In the Garden with Alisa - Coaching Sessions
"We were fortunate enough to have been introduced to Alisa by Donna from our local grocery. With no knowledge or experience in gardening but with a desire to grow and eat as organically and sustainable as possible, Alisa was the perfect mentor in helping us set up our garden beds.
The whole process from start to fruition has been incredibly rewarding and insightful! From learning about the no-dig technique, planting our leafy greens and worm compost, our veggies have multiplied in a matter of weeks! (Also thanks to her concoction of nutrient dense soils/materials).
It is rare to find someone as passionate, kind and knowledgeable as Alisa. We are looking forward to continuing learning from her and expanding our garden!"

In the Garden with Alisa - Coaching Sessions
"Alisa is so knowledgeable in everything organic gardening and composting! She has helped me develop my own home composting system that is easy to manage. She has also guided me through the 'no-dig' gardening method to build a flourishing seasonal vegetable garden. Alisa is passionate about gardening, patient and gives clear instructions, making it impossible not to also become a keen and capable gardener yourself! I highly recommend her coaching or workshops if you are looking to start composting or setting up a vegetable garden."

Everyday Composting Workshop & Composting with Worms Workshop
"Alisa's passion is contagious! I came away from the composting workshops confident that I can put into practice the techniques she demonstrated. The practical, hands on sessions showed me that I too can make a difference. My gardens and produce will be better for it while my contribution to landfill will be dramatically reduced. Thanks so much!

"We created our in-ground worm farm a few months back and they have survived the transfer and are flourishing, now moving in and out of the farm. Have to give credit to Alisa who helped us. She is very passionate about permaculture and specialises in composting.
Alisa came out to our place and gave personalised advice on where to plant the veggies, the best way for us to compost waste, water catchment, improve soil and heaps more. She was so practical and understood our needs. If you're looking to become more environmentally aware and want to get a few veggies growing in your garden, get in contact with Alisa. I wish I had called her earlier."

"Not only did Alisa help us set up the most appropriate composting system for our backyard (in-ground worm farms), she also took the time to explain how it worked and why each part was important. This gave us a sense of guardianship ensuring we will treasure the process more. Thanks Alisa!"

Everyday Composting Workshop
"I recently attended a composting workshop with Alisa after I had tried composting on my own and it failed. Upon researching it further I put it in the too hard basket until I saw a Facebook ad for this composting workshop. It was local, at a convenient time and very affordable so there was no excuse for me. What a valuable experience. Alisa taught us the why but most importantly the how and she broke the how down into steps making for a foolproof recipe for successful and enjoyable composting. I am pleased to report I am now a composter and the feeling of spreading my first batch of homemade black rich compost into my veggie beds was a great one. Turn food and garden scraps into dirt, easily! I highly recommend you put 2 hours aside and learn how to do that from a passionate pro, you wont regret it."

"Thankyou Alisa,
I am most appreciative of your knowledge and understandings about composting and many other gardening issues. I am very inspired to create a healthy network between our vegetables, compost, chooks and gardens, (not forgetting those gorgeous worms). You have given me a new perspective and appreciation of our land. So thank YOU"

"Hi Alisa, I just wanted to let you know how much we all loved the workshop yesterday! So much great and useful information delivered in a clear and interesting way!"
Robbie, Dunsborough, WA
Composting with Worms Workshop
"What a fun & educational workshop! Despite having some knowledge already and already having an above ground worm farm, I learned a lot about worms, how to care for them and how to maximise the benefits for my garden. It was awesome, PLUS I left with an actual, fully functioning, in-ground worm farm that I made myself!"
Jo, Quindalup, WA
Small-scale Composting Solutions Package
"We have owned our 3.75acre block for almost 2 years and have been working very hard to restore and revitalise it, whilst being organic and low waste. We successfully created a veggie garden, had started trying to regenerate the remnant bush, had chickens, compost bins and worm farm. However, then we became overwhelmed and somewhat disheartened at what we saw as a lack of progress. We had rabbits, weevils, parrots, invasive weeds and bushfire considerations to deal with.
Alisa came to visit us and we were able to explain our aims, our problems and our ultimate dream! She patiently took it all in and explored our property and different ideas with us.
Alisa then put together a detailed and comprehensive report of her ideas and suggestions for us and our property. The report crucially also explained how we could implement these systems! Plus included local tips for resources we might be interested in.
We were able to return to our project with renewed confidence, an appreciation for what we had already achieved and the knowledge (and patience) to move forward."

The Earth Connection (Soil Building) Workshop & Composting with Worms Workshop
"Alisa's workshops are hands on, educational and inspiring. This is the second I've attended and it was held in Alisa's incredible home garden. It was so great to see such a healthy ecosystem, which has flourished using the methods she so generously shares in her workshops. I always learn so much in Alisa's workshops and appreciate that she also sends through a wealth of follow up information and welcomes any questions.
Our garden has been completely transformed since my first workshop and the Composting with Worms Workshop is another piece of the puzzle towards a healthy ecocsystem - thankyou Alisa for inspiring me and giving me the knowledge I need to have a healthy garden that brings me and my family so much joy."
Kelly, Yallingup, WA
Composting with Worms Workshop
"Alisa's Composting with Worms Workshop is the perfect combination of practical and hands-on, blending her extensive knowledge to explain the reasoning and techniques. Her garden provided real-life examples so that we could see how it all works. Alisa is engaging and extremely welcoming to all ages and experience levels, including children, and she easily answered my myriad of questions. Alisa makes it all easily understandable and doable. I highly recommend her workshops."
Margaret, WA
The Earth Connection (Soil Building) Workshop
"I've attended two of Alisa's workshops and I leave feeling well informed, enthusiastic and confident to get to work transforing my garden to a food forest. It's also a treat to spend time in Alisa's garden sanctuary - you can really feel the love she pours into her environment....and how it loves her back!"
Fiona Horne, WA
Everyday Composting Workshop & “Can I Take a Cutting?” Workshop
"I've had the absolute pleasure of recently attending 2 of the Reconnect to Nature workshops. Alisa conducts her workshops in a warm and engaging way. She shares her tips and insights openly, which brings so much value to each topic. I admire her no-fuss approach to 'all-things-gardening'. Alisa truly is a breath of fresh air! Thanks so much Alisa, I very much look forward to talking 'soils and plants' again soon!"
Robbie, Dunsborough WA
Composting with Worms Workshop
"Thanks Alisa for a very informative and inspiring workshop and worm farm tour and bunny cuddle. I have one in, 4 to go and have found 3 lidded buckets and one potential pot plant pot so am very happy - Bunnings here I come for the appropriate drill bit."

"Thanks Alisa. I really loved it. It was so interesting in such a beautiful setting. Thanks again!"
Katie, Dunsborough, WA
Composting with Worms & Everyday Composting Workshops
"I have now attended two of Alisa's workshops, "Composting with Worms" and "Everyday Composting". She is the best teacher - delivering her subjects enthusiastically, with practical examples and hands on exercises. Her garden and the systems she has in place are living examples of what she shares in the workshops, the followup notes cover everything and are easy to read. (There's really no need to take your own notes).
I came home from each workshop and immediately got to work setting up worm farms and compost bins with confidence and am certainly reaping the benefits. An added bonus if that Alisa is happy to be consulted and advise/help with any questions or problems. I am one very satisfied customer."
