Our Team

Alex Nikesch
Owner / Lead Designer

Alex is passionate about building regenerative communities. While living abroad in China, he was exploring more sustainable ways of living and discovered permaculture. He studied living examples of permaculture at work in traditional Chinese rural farms and urban gardens while he was establishing his own guerrilla gardens and food forests in the mountains of Fujian. He later studied permaculture design at the Permaculture Research Institute of Australia.

After Alex moved back to the US he helped establish the Southwest Florida Permaculture Guild. Alex is currently organizing for the Southwest Florida Permaculture Guild, teaching permaculture and forest gardening at Florida Gulf Coast University, and helping people design their homesteads and farms with his company, Edulis Designs. He is also stewarding his own quarter acre property as an example of what can be done on a small suburban lot.
