Planting forests of abundance for children to connect and grow with.

Welcome, 

At the heart of Tree Born is a simple belief: that our children’s connection to the natural world — their sense of belonging to the Earth — is vital to a resilient and beautiful future.

Tree Born began as an extension of how my family lives: tending food forests, raising our son close to the land, and creating spaces where families and communities can do the same.

As a permaculture and syntropic agroforestry educator and practitioner, I bring together years of experience — grounded in hands-on work with the land and complemented by a creative practice in writing and illustration — to offer Tree Born as a space of guidance and inspiration.

What is a
Tree Born forest?

Inspired by the patterns of bees, each
Tree Born forest begins as a 20m² hexagon-shaped forest glade. At its heart stands a central, chosen tree, encircled by a winding path and surrounded by layers of food-producing and support plants.
Why hexagons?
They create cozy, nest-like spaces that are easy to care for and protect. They can stand alone as abundant sanctuaries, or be added to— like honeycomb— to include new family members, students, community groups

  A deep, reciprocal connection with nature is one of   the greatest gifts we can offer our children.
