We approach green spaces differently.

We co-create all landscapes, from tiny backyards to large commercial projects, with a balanced approach of three crucial ingredients - regeneration, beauty, and function.

Regeneration.

Our name is our call to action: to “rewild” our landscapes, using natural processes to repair damaged ecosystems and restore biodiversity. By using a combination of methods, we build your landscape intelligently and beyond the sustainable baseline. Instead, our aim is to be regenerative. From leveraging natural systems and cycles, to building no-dig gardens and improving soil health, to focusing on native species and perennials. We plan and activate spaces using an approach that derives from many generations of wisdom to ensure your landscape is regenerative, low maintenance and is built for your local wildlife to thrive on for lifetimes to come. Check out our language “cheat sheet” of terms and explanations about what these regenerative methods are and why we choose to use them.

Beauty.

Spaces that open the eye also open the mind to learning, and the heart to appreciation. They attract your presence, participation and care. We take human-centric design into consideration at each step of our project, viewing each space as a unique canvas to beautify. We encourage wild beauty to take center stage by emulating natural systems, while also ensuring enough symmetry, open areas for enjoyment, and a balance in colours and textures. This results in spaces that are pleasing and set up to thrive.

Function.

In nature, everything serves a purpose, and often more than one. Likewise, our approach ensures purpose and functionality are integrated into all site elements. This means curated plant selection for your needs and climate, using available resources thoughtfully, and putting intention into all factors to ensure they serve functional purposes for local ecosystems and the people within them. We incorporate closed-loop systems (e.g. water catchment and composting systems), creativity (each site is unique), and simplified long-term management to equally ensure both the enjoyment and sustainability of our work.

People Power: Harnessing Community

We have purpose-built our Wild Child crew to remain a small team. That’s because we believe in working with you and your local community members to bring each project to life. From woodworkers and fellow horticulturists to landscapers and home gardeners - our process includes finding local human power, material suppliers, and local seed/vegetation to bring your project to life. Have existing materials to upcycle? Even better. These are all integral parts of how we ensure your project is truly regenerative.
