Nicki sailed into Waupoos marina and hit the soil running. A week into her arrival she became the Head Gardener at a boutique hotel, was cast in County FM radio plays, and found a welcoming community on The County island.

She transitioned to Base31 with her passion for ecology, permaculture and the Earth in mind. She is a self-taught garden ecologist and treats her gardens with a philosophy aimed at respecting and having gratitude for resilience, change, soil and biodiversity.

She looks forward to collaborations with the land, community and other members of the Base31 team.
