Nourished Landscapes was founded by Doreen Jachmann an experienced and qualified gardener who is passionate about sustainable living and the benefits of growing your own food.

Doreen grew up in a small village south of Berlin in former communist East Germany. It was common practice that people would have a food garden and raise animals for milk, eggs and meat. From an early age she started to grow fruit and vegetables and take up a quarter of her parents 1000sqm property and created an ecologically well-functioning food garden that had many medicinal flowers integrated with the food producing crops. During her early teenage years, she volunteered at the locally renowned Saxdorfer Pfarrgarten, where she furthered her study on plants and garden techniques.

Doreen has gained formal education in Environmental Monitoring of Soil and Water and achieved a Bachelor in Horticulture as well as completed a Certificate 4 in Training and Assessment and has completed various other courses. Doreen is dedicated to sharing her knowledge and expertise to help others create nourished landscapes.
