A Pivotal Moment in Human History
This is a pivotal moment in human history. Widespread, rapid change has made many of our previous ways of organising and working together obsolete. Groups of all kinds – be they social enterprises, communities or governments – are seizing the opportunity to make a shift towards more collaborative and partnership oriented methods of interacting, aiming to increase their effectiveness in a changing world.
However, despite these groups’ best intentions and often considerable skill, many find they are unable to achieve complete and lasting change.
Here at Culture Garden, we’re opening up the territory of our group cultures, learning a new landscape and building the skills to Connect, Create and Collaborate in order to transform our cultures — and the world — from the inside out.

How we grow culture
the mother tree
We use the metaphor of the “Mother Tree” to describe how our services work.
A Mother Tree is a large, often very ancient tree which acts as a central hub in a vast underground forest network. Through their extensive root systems, Mother Trees supply the other trees around them with extra nutrients when they are sick, send messages about environmental changes or threats, and enculturate seedlings to thrive in their particular soil.
Similarly, Culture Garden is a hub and distribution point for cultural nutrients. We make information available on many levels at once, so that what arises in the held space of our programs and consulting work can be shaped and applied by the groups we work with in a multitude of ways.

About Us
We are a Team of associates with diverse professional backgrounds. Our skillsets run the gamut from organisational consulting, to nature connection, to storytelling, to local community economic development.
For a more comprehensive outline of the paradigms and perspectives we include in our work, please see our Core Elements page. We are united by a shared love for the complexity, messiness, and brilliance of our human interactional spaces, and a commitment to nurturing the best and brightest outcomes that we can achieve together.
“There is a new vision emerging demonstrating how we can solve problems and at the same time create a better world, and it all depends on collaboration, love, respect, beauty, and fairness.”
