Meet the Owner and Founder

Tracey’s passion for gardening started from when she was knee high to a grasshopper and is as strong as ever. 

Tracey was born in a Village in Dorset, England and is the proud founder of her landscaping and edible garden service. The company’s secret to success is very much based on excellent service provision and the that fact that Village Gardens is a dynamic company that is ever changing depending on the client’s expectations and the shift in our climate. Village Gardens specializes in small to medium sized water wise and edible gardens. Other services include hard gardens, more traditional gardens, indigenous edibles, container gardens and of course, seasonal maintenance. Tracey has sourced an excellent partner to assist with drip irrigation and Jojo tanks to help us though the dry seasons. Village Gardens has a team of 3 landscapers and a brilliant group of guys that are passionate about ensuring everyone can have the garden of their dreams. The staff are all extremely respectful and Tracey says they are even happy to save an odd bee or two struggling in the pool; ‘That’s just how we are’. Tracey is very proud to say that 10% of all monies made by Village Gardens is donated to animal charities including 4 paws and Panthera Africa.

Tracey is very humbled to add that she has been fortunate to write for the Fairlady’s garden pages, Seeff magazine, Bay Magazine’s garden pages as well as offering garden tips and advice in the Billboard magazine. Tracey also writes for the South Africa Gardener magazine and for Grow to Eat magazine and is sometimes guest speaker on Smile FM as well as guest speaker talking about food gardens with Pippa Hudson on Cape Talk 567am.

Joshua

Landscape designer, irrigation specialist and horticulturist

My name is Joshua and I have been immersed in the world of plants, landscaping and design for 7 years. 
I started my journey soon after I left school and it was very rare not to see me lost in a garden. Always sowing seeds or bulbs, taking cuttings or literally just smelling the aromas from the plants.  
Doing a variety of internships and working for various nurseries, landscapers and designers. Having Implemented and designed many different gardens.  
 
I have an avid love for all plants (varieties and species). Focusing on design work, horticulture and propagation. Changing the landscape from vision to reality.  I use organic, sustainable, ecological methods and practices to create healthy soil and cultivate plants.
 
I believe a healthy garden is all about balance and synchronicity. It is us the gardeners who try to find that balance.
