Toni McErlane Horticulturist / Landscape Designer

I began my career in the horticultural industry 21 years ago. I am fortunate to have worked in a wide area of the horticulture industry including nurseries, market gardens, orchards, export, land rehabilitation, landscape construction, education, recycling of green waste through composting and vermiculture, organic glasshouse vegetable production, landscape design,construction and tree care and maintenance. I have designed and built landscapes in Australia, India, New Zealand, Boulder Colorado and California.

 During my conventional education I was constantly questioning the need for pesticides and synthetic fertilizers along with many other seemingly unsustainable aspects of the industry. Throughout the last 21 years I have continued with passion to ask questions and trial alternative methods of growing plants in ways that are sustainable to our environment.

The practices I use in our gardens today are the result of years of questioning and trials. I look forward to continued learning and sharing that knowledge with you.
