Sir Ralph Harris said “Find your passion, make it your profession, and never work another day in your life”. Simon Glover has taken those beautiful words and put them into practice as “Veggie Head” takes shape. Although still in the development stages, from ideals, ideas are sprouting.

You are what you eat

Now with raised no-dig garden beds installed at several locations, seedlings sprouting, some transplanted and others near ready for planting , the harvest is tantalizing taste buds.

When the conditions are right

food for life

ETHICS

CARE FOR THE EARTH

CARE FOR OTHERS

SHARE THE SURPLUS

Are you mindful? Consider your actions. When you turn on a tap, this not only uses the precious resource of water, however, electricity and everything that goes into making electricity. Destruction of natural bush or forests, which are home for many native animals and carbon converters, making way for mining.

PRINCIPALS

Reduce; waste by being conscious of packaging when making purchases

Reuse; find other uses (e.g. shirts become rags) or give to another person

Recycle; dispose of thoughtfully, can it be composted or recycled

MISSION STATEMENT

Following the six ethics and principals; VEGGIE HEAD installs and maintains affordable, low maintenance, eatable gardens grown to your taste. Effectively reducing the cost of living; with fresh food at your finger tips and simultaneously, reducing your carbon foot print.

Gratitude

Many people take most things for granted, when was the last time you actually thought about how lucky you were for the little things? The fact that you have thumbs and can do the multitude of things that require thumbs. The ability to taste, not simply enjoying the taste, however take the moment and experience gratitude for the ability to taste……… I’d like to take this opportunity to show gratitude to my friend Peter for helping me with the set up of these web sites, thank you Peter

If one were to be born naturally in the wilderness or in the garden of eden, nature would provide the necessities, why is it we have to pay premium prices for natural food and water. Organic food as nature intended can be …….………. at your finger tips. Have your own garden of eden and eat it too. You have a natural human right to organic/ chemical free food. Hard work and time consuming is what most people think of first when it comes to producing your own food, it doesn’t have to be that way. My first thoughts are Healthy happy body. Allow me, I’d like to bring the garden to you. All the hard work done for you, low maintenance/ eatable/ chemical free fresh food. Cheaper grocery bill and ‘YOU COULDN’T GET ANY FRESHER’.
