Food waste management, food growing and waste education for Community Planning & Design
The residents of today and the future have a deeper desire to live in a community that reflects their values and show future-forward initiatives. The Gardenship™ brings regenerative practice to the heart of your community — turning organic kitchen and landscaping waste into fertile compost that powers food production gardens and edible landscapes, as well as creating social connection, job opportunities, wellness through food, ecological biodiversity, and food and waste education value to your community.
Gardenships™ are probiotic food systems designed to meet the waste management and food growing needs of communities of any scale.
Gardenships™ are a modular facilities offering a dedicated food and green waste processing plant using worms and beneficial microbes, an organic food growing garden, and a waste education classroom for workshops and events.

Benefits
Building food waste management and food growing functionality within your local community creates many long-term benefits — ranging from environmental to social.
-
Gardenships™ significantly reduce volumes of waste heading to landfill, as well as landfill costs, and carbon emissions generated from waste transport.
-
Gardenships™ create a safe and pest-free food waste plant and organic production garden that adds value and environmental purpose to the local community. It provides fresh produce to the community, new job creation, and a retail revenue stream through a local food produce market.
-
WastePlant supports resilience in communities, through self-sufficient local waste management and food production, creating greater food security and future-proofing your community.
-
Gardenships™ help communities qualify you for a range of environmental certifications like Green Label Indonesia (Indonesia), EarthCheck, Green Key, and Ecotourism Australia (Australia).
-
Today’s travellers are choosing destinations that reflect their values. The Gardenship™ demonstrates visible, high-impact sustainability to visitors in a tangible and practical way. They are a drawcard for attracting not only the curiosity of visitors, but also media and storytelling attention for your community.
-
One of the most unique features of the Gardenships™, setting it apart from many other systems, is they’re designed to be pest, rodent and odour free - making it safe and pleasant, rather than an eyesore. The compost bays and overall structure are meticulously designed to meet this high standard, meaning the GardenShip can safely exist in a people-centric community space.
-
The composting process uses probiotic digestive technology with enzymes - dramatically reducing odours and exponentially enhancing composting capability and performance.
