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 instill a sense of control in every gardener we support
Regardless of age, ability or circumstances we are here to 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.
NDIS support
Do you have NDIS funding to engage with 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 see if Companion Planting would work for you.
Companionship
Do you have a loved one who would appreciate a gardener to check in and help with their garden to-do list?
At Companion Planting, we work side by side with our clients, providing both practical support and genuine connection in the garden. We keep our scheduling flexible so clients never feel rushed — allowing time to enjoy the process as much as the results.
My Aged Care support
Do you have funding through My Aged Care? Companion Planting is registered with a range of My Aged Care providers, including St Vincent’s Care, Carinity, and Anglicare — and we’re regularly adding new providers. Talk to your package coordinator about adding Companion Planting to your team so we can support you in your garden.
Gardening Support
Do you need an hour or two to help repot, plant, prune or weed? We can help with most gardening tasks. No lock in contracts, just ‘as needed’ help. Give us a call and we can schedule a time that suits you.
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
Welcome, 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.
Hello, I’m Anna!
I joined the Companion Planting team in 2025, bringing with me a background in farming and teaching. I love taking on gardening projects that transform backyards into beautiful, welcoming spaces.
Working outdoors and connecting with people of all ages and backgrounds, is something I truly enjoy. It’s important to me that our clients’ needs and expectations are met, so everyone can feel confident that a great job has been done.
G'Day, I’m Cam!
I love gardening and being outside in nature. I really got into having my hands in the soil around 2014 and have been into composting and being a soil farmer since.
The benefits of nature are all around us, and I believe in fostering this appreciation by helping people get the most out of the closest nature many of us have — our gardens!
Be it a selection of pot plants or a sprawling bushy space, helping you receive the gifts nature has to offer is what drives my approach to working with you.
