Fruitful Gardens
We’re a small business, based in Plympton. We only work locally, because that choice helps us maximise the social and environmental benefits of our work. We aim to pay staff a fair wage, as well as give you an affordable price. We do this by keeping unnecessary costs low, so that as much time, love, and materials can be put into the garden itself.
Our philosophy
Sustainability has to be the goal for every business, so that our great grandchildren will still inherit a liveable world. To this aim, all our choices about how to garden, the businesses we support, and the jobs we accept, are filtered through this lens, helping us make choices that will support the biodiversity of the planet, including habitat for bees, butterflies, birds, and the other creatures that share our city landscapes (a kangaroo was spotted recently roaming the streets of Plympton!).
General garden maintenance
If your garden needs regularly maintenance, we are experienced pruning a wide variety of plants, and are very happy to weed, with an eye to managing unwanted plant species without herbicides. Note that we do not offer extensive mowing or tree removal, as these are best left to those who specialise in these areas.
Irrigation
Edible plants
Native plants
We will always suggest a native or local plant species first, because these are adapted best to the climate of this country. In addition, they are the most likely to support local insect and bird species, that pollinate our flowers, and manage pest species naturally (think ladybirds!).
Using water wisely is important, in Australia’s driest state. We will help you install water-saving irrigation, to keep your plants in good condition, without wasting water.
There are few things more satisfying that growing things you want to eat. We help you grow the vegetables, nuts and fruit you love the best (and you will be surprised how many edible plants will grow in this mediterranean climate).
