food & forests

Whether it’s agroforestry for your finca or an edible garden for your home or anything in between. Revive’s team of experts will collaborate with nature for your food and forest dreams. 

Personalized landscaping for homeowners and property managers that want to grow food and regenerate their resources. Circular economy designs restore, renew and revitalize their own sources of energy, food, and materials. 

Permaculture landscaping combines aspects of decorative and edible plants to create a site that sustains itself and its gardener. The ultimate goal of permaculture landscaping is to create an ecosystem that has the capability of providing for all your needs, food, shelter, fuel, and beauty. While many may not need or want to follow permaculture to such an extreme, its principles can be used to create landscapes that are ecologically friendly, useful, and beautiful.

We mimic patterns in nature to design & create regenerative and resilient farms, gardens, and homesteads that:

• Build topsoil

• Increase production 

• Sequester carbon or fix nitrogen

• Catch and store rainwater

• Increase human and ecological health

• Increase biological diversity

• Create diverse habitats

• Promote independent seed banks

Revive offers a complete package that includes:
consult, design, implementation, and maintenance,
or use any one of our services a la carte.
