Harmonize with Nature
I design landscapes that balance beauty and ecology, using native, edible, and medicinal plants to create spaces that serve both people and wildlife.
Schedule a Consultation with MeHi, I'm Eric Vanbergen
I am an ecological landscape designer, certified permaculturist, and licensed horticulturist. I educate on how we can optimize our relationship with the Earth to increase biodiversity, produce food and medicine, and enjoy the peace and natural beauty of healthy land.
I have years of experience with meditative and yogic techniques for cultivating inner peace. Our unsustainable and unconscious relationship with the planet is a reflection of a lack of peace in our internal worlds.
My goal is to serve the world by facilitating healing in both the outer world of the landscape and the inner worlds of our minds.
