Project consultation.
Connect your school, workplace, community group, restaurant or development over local food. With over a decade of experience in developing and running community urban farm and garden projects, we work with you to design a unique concept for your productive green space.
Consultation services.
We offer the expertise to help you connect your community, organisation or business around local food projects. We provide consultation and design services for urban farms, community gardens, kitchen gardens and a broad range of commercial or community food and biodiversity gardens and landscapes.
Our experience lies in urban farming, gardening, permaculture and landscape design, community building, education, sustainability and governance, across a variety of projects, from small-scale residential and workplace gardens, to large scale community projects.
Sustainability, food production, community integration and education are at the core of what we do, and we proudly also offer long-term maintenance advisory services to ensure the health and longevity of the gardens and farms we design and build.
Consultation process.
We work with your unique project needs, tailoring our services to your requirements. This could include an initial meeting, site visit/s, meetings to develop your project concept, and design services ranging from concept to complete. On completion of the design and consultation process we can work with you on the implementation stage, through guidance and resources for build and management plans, and connection with recommended local contractors.
Design fees.
Individual quotes and price breakdowns are provided for each job, with fees dependent on project scope and size, scope of design work, hours on-site required and any additional services. Travel fees apply outside of Huon Valley and Hobart municipalities. Travel for projects outside of Tasmania may incur additional fees of flight and accommodation expenses.
“The task of identifying and then developing Pocket City Farms is the type of story that has built reality, patience and commitment into Emma’s understanding and management of these types of urban projects, from the community supported social enterprise side to the day-to-day commercial reality of making such a project financially viable. Emma and the team’s experience in building social capital and financial outcomes is what has made the transformation and development of the Pocket City Farms brand a pleasure to see unfold. The technical skill of farming a piece of urban land is one part of the equation, the ability to build genuine community input, ownership and engagement is a completely different bin of compost.”
— Costa Georgiadis, Gardening Australia
“Emma is a professional changemaker who has somehow mastered the ability to simultaneously run an enterprise, grow great chemical-free food (no matter what), and also create superb community engagement and programs, all at once. Going to the Pocket City Farms site is always a satisfying example of just how much you can do in a relatively small space, in terms of great food, education, and social outcomes.”
