Companion Planting provides one-on-one gardening support to gardeners of all ages and abilities.
How we can help
Our aim is to empower and instil a sense of control in every gardener we support
Regardless of age, ability or circumstances we are here to help.
Gardening Support
Do you need an hour or two to help repot, plant, prune or weed? We can help with most gardening tasks. Give us a call and we can schedule a time that suits you.
NDIS Approved Support Workers
Do you have NDIS funding and would love a support worker who can not only help you in the garden, but share your passion for green spaces? No problem. Call us today and we can write up a service agreement that meets your needs.
Companionship
Do you have a loved one who would love a friend to check in with them and do some gardening, then stay for a cuppa tea and a catch-up? At Companion Planting we never over-schedule, so our clients don’t feel like we are rushing away as soon as we have finished gardening.
Regular Scheduled Gardening Support
Do you have reduced mobility, strength, balance, or energy levels and need some help? We can come and support you in your garden as often as you require. No lock in contracts, just ‘as needed’ help.
Gardening Advice and Support
New to gardening? Or just new to growing in subtropical Brisbane? We are always happy to share our experiences growing vegetables, fruit trees, natives and more. We also have experience with stingless bee hives, worm farms, composts, and backyard chickens.
Advice and support with Native Stingless Bees
Do you have a question about Australia Native Stingless Bees?
Whether you are looking to buy your first hive, ask a question about your hive health or need support to split your native hive, we can help. We have experience with Tetragonula Hockings, Tetragonula Carbonaria and Austroplebeia Australis native bees.

Who Are We?
Companion Planting was created from a love of gardening and the desire to make gardening accessible to all
Hi, I am Samantha!
My love of gardening started when I was quite young and has continued to grow. I live in Sandgate with my family, and I have a background in primary school teaching.
My backyard is filled with fruit trees, raised vegetables beds and ornamental gardens filled with a variety of flowers and natives. We have backyard chickens, worm farms and native stingless bees.
I truly love supporting people in their gardens and seeing the joy that it brings.
Hi, I’m Cristyan!
Cris for short. I’m Brazilian and moved to Brisbane in 2019, following my heart. Since I arrived, I’ve been involved with environmental education, supporting people to (re)connect with themselves and their communities by reconnecting with nature.
As a nature lover and advocate, I strongly believe that wealth and happiness can grow on trees. Therefore, following this belief and permaculture principles and ethics, my husband and I have been nurturing a small food forest in our backyard for us and for wildlife.
It is always a joy to spot a new dweller around and think that, in our garden, they feel they are safe and belong, like us.
