About Us
Horticulture Training
Diploma in Landscape Design
After leaving school, I pursued formal training in horticulture, which led to a Diploma in Landscape Design and a Permaculture Design Certificate. These studies formed the foundation for my practical and ecological approach to landscaping. Early in my career, I had the opportunity to manage the English Flower Garden at Hamilton Gardens, gaining experience in high-quality garden presentation and maintenance. I also worked across orchards, vineyards, and other landscape settings, which further shaped my understanding of productive systems in real-world conditions.
The launch of Goodrick Landscapes
In 2017, I launched Goodrick Landscapes to bring together these influences with a focus on creating edible, resilient, and regenerative spaces.
Food Forest Training
Alongside design work, I’ve continued studying, completing training in organic primary production to deepen my knowledge around how to strengthen organic food systems, and exploring the regenerative potential of syntropic agroforestry as a way to grow food while improving soil, biodiversity, and landscape function.
