Omg, outside of my daily hikes I have no real interest in plants and certainly none in gardening but holy cow, without knowing what I was in for I recently took part in an event of Josh's and I may be a convert. Forest farming? Never heard of it before - but suddenly I'm sharing my newfound knowledge with anyone who will listen!

Josh's love and passion for food and nature are palpable and infectious. Our silent walk through the woods was so beautiful and I immediately noticed how different my subsequent hikes have been - out with the podcasts, in with the quiet, peaceful observations.

And while I'm currently not in the market for my own edible garden, I will continue to follow Josh and take in any events I am able.

Thanks for the amazing afternoon/evening, Josh!

I have been so impressed watching this company grow, from their formation through to their current thriving. I appreciate their consistent dedication to service and education in the fields of food security & living (edible) landscapes. There is such important information in the knowledge they share and they many levels of service this company provides. I often recommend Edible Landscapes when folks are looking for this any kind of garden or landscape services.

We purchased an acre of land one year ago and quickly saw its potential to become a thriving food forest. Taking on this ourselves was a daunting task though, as we faced many challenges with drainage, varied terrain, and established trees/plants to name a few. We found Edible Landscapes, who were willing to work with us despite the distance (Qualicum Beach). Josh and his team came up to assess our property, and we could immediately tell they were a welcome presence on our land. They were tremendous at answering all of our questions, quieting our concerns, and making the whole process far less daunting. Josh made multiple trips to see the land in all seasons. They have created an amazing plan for us to slowly start the transition in stages (we will be doing the labour ourselves).
We were particularly impressed with the in-depth look at our family, to assure the whole family’s needs are being met, and all of our favourite edibles are being integrated.
Josh’s approach is very logical, methodical and low-impact, in that he finds solutions cohesive to the established plants and existing terrain.
We highly recommend this business 😊👍🏻 The value of their insight is immeasurable!

Edible Landscapes Design was recommended to me two years ago. I had just lost my husband to cancer, and had neglected the yard for several years. I had grandiose ambitions, but needed to scale the work over several years, as I could afford it. While the yard is still a work in progress, we have renewed the lawn, installed irrigation, put in raised beds, and generally made the yard a wonderful place to be. Joshua always listens to me, and is flexible, but is very knowledgeable in all areas of gardening. At his suggestion, we planted a "lawn alternative" to grass, and I am ecstatic with the results. He has worked in cooperation with my stonemason and my carpenter, and has been flexible in scheduling. Joshua has even been willing to hep me decide what I need to do now for infrastructure, what I need to do now because I want to, and what I can put off until the future. I love the fact that I have a beautiful, flower filled garden, with all sorts of edible fruits, herbs, and vegetables tucked between, All of the people who work with him are lovely, knowledgeable and hardworking, but Meaghan can do more in an afternoon than I can in a month. They help me with maintenance between projects, and they are very reasonable in price. I am very picky, and have never been disappointed by a job. For me, they have made it possible for me to keep the garden I love and to get it ready for the happy day when I retire. I recommend them wholeheartedly.

I'm a small business owner who has both hired and collaborated with Edible Landscapes Design. Joshua impressed me as a sharp mind with big picture ecological ethics who goes the extra mile for the customer. What he creates seems to provide a sustainable food yield over at least the medium term, while being reasonable to maintain and quite beautifully landscaped. Another thing I appreciate about Edible Landscapes is straight-up communication about budget and timeline. They do their homework and often give multiple ways to get it done so that the person has options and is included in the process. Thank you Joshua for your work and contribution to a better society.

Very informative, kind and easy to work with. Unique ideas for edibles in the garden that are kid friendly. Was great to have Josh scope out our yard and show us where certain plants would thrive, what to plant and what was already in the garden that was worth keeping. So great!

Edible Landscape Design offered a informative workshop via zoom. It was full of great details, inspiration, and advise on creating a Food Forest. I will be contacting them soon to get advise on the transformation of our backyard.
