Our bestsellers

'What Habitate created is a lovely harmony between form and function - the food forest is our favourite part of our property, and we love it more every year.'

'We have really enjoyed working with you and thank you for all your efforts on our project. We couldn't be happier with the results.  We get so many positive comments from people about our garden.'

‘Jason and the team helped me realise my dream of a productive food garden.  I was able to work with them to create a plan, to pick and choose which parts I could do myself and which parts I wanted them to do.  I learned heaps along the way’.
