“Lekker” means DELICIOUS in Dutch!
As the climate changes and things in the Interior of BC get drier and hotter, we all need strategies for reducing our water usage, increasing our yard or garden output while creating a space that is joyful to spend time in!
We work with you to create edible, medicinal, water-wise, permaculture-inspired, zero-waste, natural outdoor spaces that will nourish you for years to come while lowering grocery bills and your environmental footprint.
Local food security, waste reduction and soil building are all more important than ever and people are realizing the benefits of growing their own food closer to home, while also reducing organic waste.
We source local and environmentally conscious materials, use up-cycling techniques and inspirations, and teach as we design and install. We include education in our services because we want you to build land connections that will increase your feelings of stewardship and compassion for your ecosystem.

My 1st year gardening was more successful than I could’ve hoped for … due to Keli’s knowledge and gardening tips.She also nurtured ‘ME’ – from educating me on what types of soil to use, to simple ways of composting.She’d give me advice AND education! Knowledge! I actually grew the ingredients to make my own pasta sauce from scratch!!!! Thank you Keli !

“Keli was a knowledgeable resource for me as I researched composting options in my bear-aware community. She gave me some great ideas and lots of helpful basic information about how composting works (and doesn’t work). I appreciate her commitment to sustainable agriculture and just being better stewards of the planet. She’s approachable and friendly. Thank you Keli!”
