Welcome to Episode #10, where I chat with Sean Morrow of One Earth Landscaping and One Earth Education and Consulting about landscaping that encourages an abundant and thriving ecosystem… basically, landscaping that connects people with plants and animals in a way I’ve never considered before. Sean is a deeply passionate and spiritual man, and it was an absolute privilege to learn more about him and his work. 

Sean grew up in Sydney in a great family environment, where his parents took the family bush walking often. They spent two weeks of every Christmas school holidays at a farm on the Mid North Coast of New South Wales. Although he grew up in Sydney, Sean’s heart and spirit was always in the bush. As a child, he kept a huge range of native animals at home (from insects, yabbies and frogs, to turtles, lizards and birds) and studied them in great detail over many years. At the age 8, he convinced his dad to put in a frog pond at home and many years later, he managed to get two more ponds into the garden! While talking to Sean, I learnt that this was live-changing.

After leaving Sydney in 1993 with only a backpack, Sean started travelling and living around Australia and overseas for approximately 7-8 years. In that time he lived and travelled in Far North Queensland, Tasmania, New Zealand, Darwin, Indonesia, Western Australia, Canada, United States (including Hawaii) and later, Northern New South Wales. In 2002 he found 6.5 acres of land on the Sunshine Coast, Queensland, and settled onto the land to develop the gardens with two main focuses - to grow organic food and to create habitat for native animals. In 1999 he established One Earth Landscaping, and in 2011 he additionally established One Earth Education and Consulting.

Sean’s passions include the creation of habitats to support native animals, the growing of organic food for home production, Permaculture, Organics and Bio-Dynamics. In the last few years, Sean’s life has been more focused on education. He loves sharing his passion and knowledge with people through talks, workshops and consultations, and also opens his gardens/property to the general public 1-2 times per year.
