KEEPING OUR PRICES SUSTAINABLE
Prices going up at the moment seem to be inescapable. Here at The Sustainable Gardener from 1 July we are facing increases in wages and superannuation, and other costs of business continue to rise.
We aren’t raising our prices. In fact, we’re offering new deals to make things cheaper for our new customers
FROM JULY 1ST
if you accept our estimate, the $165 consultation fee will be fully refunded to you by deducting it from your first invoice.
READY TO GO?
And, if, when you accept our initial estimate, you agree to sign up for four additional visits in the first 12 months (Visits must be for a full six-person crew for minimum of three hours). We will give you a 5 per cent discount on all future visits (including the first visit).

OUR STORY
The Sustainable Gardener is a social enterprise that gives opportunities to people of all abilities and provides superior garden maintenance that works with nature, not against it.
Founded in 2009 by Warren Aitken leading one team of gardeners, The Sustainable Gardener has expanded considerably since then. Warren, who holds qualifications in agricultural economics, horticulture, permaculture, and sustainable agriculture, continues to run the company and ensure you receive top quality garden maintenance.
Our workers receive comprehensive on the job training as well as attending specialized courses in first aid, chainsaw and chemical use. They are also encouraged and supported in attaining CIT Horticulture qualifications and attending less formal courses such as the growing of nutrient dense food run by Phion.

NDIS SUPPORT
​
The Sustainable Gardener is pleased to work for NDIS participants. With our increased capacity, we can take on new work for NDIS participants.
​
As a social enterprise we not only employ people living with disability, some of whom receive NDIS support, but are now increasingly providing household garden maintenance services to others as part of their individual NDIS support plans.
​
Our intrepid workers now have the opportunity to assist others living with a disability who need help with their gardens.
​
The financial arrangements with NDIS participants will vary depending on whether they are self-managed or have the assistance of a plan manager. Although the NDIS financial arrangement are complex and so take more time to process, we are prepared to persist and make it work for our NDIS participant customers.
​
We offer concessions for NDIS clients in the form of waiving the initial consult fee of $165 including GST.
​
If you are receiving NDIS support or you know someone on NDIS that may need help with their garden, why not get in touch. We would be pleased to assist you.
