Most gardens require constant watering, weeding and fertilising. But a food forest is different - it's designed to take care of itself over time. Using the patterns of natural eco-systems you'll learn how to:
Build soil naturally
Manage pests without chemicals
Reducing weeding and maintanence
Capture and hold more water in your garden
Create a climate buffer that protects your plants from extreme weather
This isn't about working harder, it's about working with nature!
Wether you're starting with bare ground, a suburban backyard, a huge farm, or even just some pots on a balcony - these principles work anywhere.
You'll love this course if you want to:
Grow your own nutrient-dense organic food
Create a beautiful, productive garden
Reduce your dependence on supermarkets
Help the land you're on to become happier and healthier
Hi, I'm Cerise Acacia — mother, permaculture teacher, and steward of our 1-acre family food forest.
For years I tried to grow food the “hard way”: constant weeding, replanting, compost turning, seaweed spraying… always trying to keep up.
Then I discovered food forestry — and everything changed.
Now I grow food with nature, not against it. No more slaving away — just overflowing abundance and heaps of fun.
Through my courses and workshops I’ve helped hundreds of people design thriving food forests in backyards, farms and homesteads — and I’d love to support you too.
"Absolutely loving this mini course! Thankyou for putting this together, everyone needs to learn these things in life, it's a shame we don't learn this at school!"
"Thankyou Cerise! I have been trying to get my head around the details of food forests for a while now, and you are just explaining it so wonderfully and making it easy to understand!"
"Thank you for your generosity in sharing your wealth of knowledge with us. My kids are really enjoying watching the videos and being included in the exciting new projects we have ahead of us."
"Thankyou Cerise. Hope for the future."
"Loved it! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge, experience, and love with us."
"I was taking this course to prepare to live in the country In a few years but I think I’m going to get started now in my small urban backyard!"
"I had an epiphany."
"I absolutely loved your content and the perspective you are living & teaching! I have all different experiences and knowledge on veggie gardens, orchards, grain production, ecology, land restoration, I have seen my grandparents producing their food themselves…. but your content is next level!"
"Thank you Cerise, I think this might be the first workshop/course where I actually learned something valuable!"
"Thank you Cerise, this has been so wonderful and inspiring! You are a wonderful teacher, we are all so fortunate to have come across you! I’m so excited to utilise that planning tools, and to look into what plants will be best to fill in all the gaps."
"Cerise, I think this course (combined with your mighty heart and extraordinary knowledge) is no less than life changing . . . and even world saving. Thankyou is cringingly insufficient for this change and opportunity."
"Thanks Cerise. The planning grid just blew my mind. So simple but so effective. I'm really looking forward to using it."
