āThe truth is, the natural world is changing. And we are totally dependent on that world. It provides our food, water and air. It is the most precious thing we have and we need to defendĀ it.ā

Earthli Edible Garden Kits make it easy for the modern city dweller to grow their own food, with nature, for nature in their own backyard (or balcony) š¤¤
Ancient cultures survived, by sharing stories about growing food and living in harmony with the land. But basically it was all about managing resources. Balancing the needs of the tribe, with the cycles of natural ecosystems. This is something many of us have forgotten along the way āsomething Earthi
Villages would share knowledge and swap home grown produce ā They worked together.

None of us are born "green thumbs" - we grow towards it. When we started off we sought a lot of help, and searched high and low for all sorts of advice for keeping our precious (and expensive!) plants alive.
It's why we assembled the Tribe: every purchase comes with exclusive access to the Tribe (our digital beta platform) so you can ask all the questions you need, to grow food, plants and create a positive impact in your own home, and on your local environment, no matter your level of experience.
It's our humble space to share support, knowledge, personal crop progress and experiences āwe even share and swap excess produce!
Pollinators and insects are critical to our environment and our food systems, but they're being pushed out from our cities. Each of our kits have been designed to draw them back in, with each containing at least one flowering plant, as a feast for your eyes, and your friendly pollinators too!
For explorers of culinary delight, and the rest of us who sometimes struggle to put food together too! We've done the hard work for you, and carefully curated a selection of plants that make mixing and matching your fresh, home grown veg as easy as opening the fridge!
Nature is powerful, so why grow against it? Our Kits are designed to attract an ecosystem of biodiversity (nature!!) to grow with it, so that great things can happen organically. We've selected specific plants (companion plants!) that allow you to grow more within a tighter space, and even improve the health of one another. By growing a space beneficial for insects and pollination for more yields, and natural pest control by attracting predators, you're not only making an area more productive, but creating a valuable micro-habitat that will reconnect your home / garden / even balcony! back into the ecosystems of nature around it! Truly epic.
We ship with minimum packaging to keep your items protected, using compostable, recyclable and otherwise reusable (useful!) material - because, really, who needs more packing? It's our way of delivering as much impact, minus the usual fluff that hurts our planet. Our Edible Garden Kit deliveries are also carbon offset to ensure our actions with you can only be carbon positive from here on it! This is all about the details, and while perfection is hard to achieve, we're taking stock to do as much as possible - after all, we're all connected and it all addsĀ up.
We are elated to have won this, but most of all, to be supported by the amazing people at Victoria University, Roshambo Studios, VUĀ Innovations, Startup Victoria and <<<extra special thanks>>> The Sid & Fiona Myer Foundation for backing us with this prize!! š¤š¤š¤

Needless to say, this is just the beginning for us! Thank you all so muchš
