I love growing food, and I love designing systems that work. I started Rainshadow Permaculture as something deeply personal - it was born from grief, curiousity, and a deep connection to the garden and its possbilities. Over time, it has turned into someting bigger: a way to help others start and maintain the projects of their dreams.

Client Testimonials
Working with Victoria has been such a rewarding experience. She didn’t just give me a garden design—she gave me tips for better way of living. The plan she created is thoughtful, intentional, and grounded in beneficial permaculture principles, but what makes it so special for me is how well it reflects my lifestyle, values, and goals. It’s functional, pet-friendly, and beautiful. It supports the kind of life I want to lead: sustainable, grounded, and connected to nature. I feel empowered by this design to live better, not just garden better. Victoria is knowledgeable, collaborative, and understands the brief deeply. Couldn’t recommend more!
