About Me

Bridget Scully has been “working with nature” to create ecological balance in her gardens for over a decade.  While studying Sustainable Horticulture and Permaculture Design, her mentor Nathan Foote installed an appreciation for ‘do nothing’ methods of creating productivity inspired by natural farmer Masanobu Fukuoka from Japan.  Bridget spent a year learning the grow biointensive method of Nathan and went on to practice under Kay Baxter at the Koanga Institute where she spent 8 months developing their seed gardens, and learning seed production and processing techniques. It was at Koanga that she completed her PDC (Permaculture Design Certificate). Since then, Bridget has inspired and helped many people design and create their own ecological gardens from scratch. In 2020, Bridget and her family became kaitiaki of an 1/2 acre urban property in Gisborne which they are developing using Permaculture Design and a strong alliance with Nature. You can visit their garden by booking into one of their workshops.
