Innovative Practices for a Sustainable Future
The Kingbridge garden employs innovative techniques like Hugelkultur, where wood scraps and fallen trees, from the forest on the Property, are placed at the base of the beds. This method not only minimizes waste but also enhances the soil by slowly releasing moisture, nutrients, and carbon into the root zones of native plants, fostering their health and resilience year after year.

A Living Laboratory for Sustainability
The Kingbridge garden features 25 native plant and pollinator species, showcasing the importance of regenerative biodiversity in building resilient ecosystems. In addition to its ecological benefits, the garden functions as a living laboratory, for testing carbon storage and sequestration across varying planter bed designs. This work advances knowledge in sustainable land management practices and supports efforts to combat climate change.

From Garden to Plate
At The Kingbridge Centre, our Permaculture Garden plays a pivotal role in our culinary philosophy. We make the most of our fresh, seasonal herbs by carefully harvesting them in late fall, and preserving them through methods like drying, freezing, and infusing to ensure we have a year-round supply. This practice allows us to incorporate the vibrant flavours of our garden into our dishes, even during the winter months.
