Cultivate Central is an urban permaculture design practice and consultancy.
We are on a quest to create regenerative food commons, spaces, systems, content and programmes that inspire action towards health and earth care. We want to make growing food, reducing food miles, composting and working with soil second nature amongst urbanites.
We believe food spaces and food commons can be agents of change. We cultivate a 'grow, cook and make your own' culture via permaculture learnscapes and gardens. We're passionate about creating permaculture learnscapes and believe permaculture gardens should be integrated in everyday places such as neighbourhoods, rooftops, shopping boulevards, work spaces, schools and dormant urban spaces. Permaculture spaces nurture resilience, promotes health, a sense of connectedness and respect to nature and each other.
We help companies, organisations and schools create regenerative urban food gardens, deliver sustainability, supply grow kits and shape healthy eco-positive cultures through community engagement and education.
We practice permaculture methods when designing and creating food gardens, programmes and food commons. We strive to design spaces and programmes that are not only sustainable but also regenerative and restorative.
We’re great collaborators and work closely with different partners to deliver programmes and spaces that enable resilience, cultivate earth care and biodiversity, encourage better food choices, drive eco habits and nurture a sense of connectedness to nature and each other.
We are called to be architects of the future, not its victims.
-R. Buckminster Fuller
