Flo Gardens unwavering commitment lies in the preservation and support of our precious natural environment. With over two decades of expertise in bush regeneration and a profound passion for freshwater ecosystems, we embark on a remarkable endeavor to create awe-inspiring natural pools and water features. Our paramount mission is to reintroduce individuals to the wonders of nature by installing natural pools in every outdoor space.
Revitalizing Freshwater Ecosystems
Freshwater serves as the cradle of life itself. Our freshwater ecosystems, encompassing wetlands, rivers, and lakes, stand as vital habitats teeming with extraordinary biological diversity. However, these invaluable ecosystems face imminent peril, with only a mere 1% of the world’s freshwater within reach and less than 1% of the vast expanse of the Northern Rivers’ magnificent lowland subtropical rainforest remaining intact.
At Flo Gardens, our vision encompasses a planet where natural ecosystems, forests, and waterways are restored, ensuring food security and securing a prosperous future for generations to come.
Freshwater, the essence of life, now dwindles in our rivers, owing to the mere 1% remnant of the Northern Rivers’ once-abundant forest. Together, we must seize this opportune moment to collaborate and restore our freshwater ecosystems, which profoundly impact every facet of life on our planet.
Flo Gardens proudly serves as an educational hub, boasting six acres of land, an outdoor classroom at Sleepy Hollow, and extensive hectares of national park nestled amidst the surrounding mountains.
Our ultimate objective revolves around reconnecting everyone to the splendor of nature. Through the dissemination of knowledge pertaining to freshwater ecology and land restoration, we can join forces to rejuvenate your property, restoring it to its former glory as a grand expanse of the esteemed big scrub rainforest!
Defining the Natural Pool Concept
A Flo Garden Natural Swimming Pool represents a freshwater ecosystem meticulously designed to emulate the beauty of our local endemic creeks and streams. It provides a sanctuary for endangered fish species, native plants, and local wildlife whose very existence faces constant threats due to relentless urbanization. Simultaneously, it offers a tranquil space for your loved ones to swim, fostering a profound connection with the natural environment and one another.
To embark on your journey towards embracing a natural pool, we invite you to enroll in our introductory workshop on freshwater ecosystems.
Understanding Land Restoration
The pollution that plagues our rivers and oceans is an ever-growing concern. As water flows from hills and mountains, it traverses private properties before reaching our creeks, rivers, and ultimately the vast oceans. At Flo Gardens, we extend our expertise through a comprehensive land restoration program, aiming to revert the land to its original state by rejuvenating streams and waterfalls, filtering the water, and regenerating the landscape with endemic and non-invasive plant species.
To commence your journey towards land restoration, we encourage you to enroll in our dedicated workshop on land restoration.
