Our Gardens in Motion
Gardens don’t happen overnight, they grow, shift, and come alive step by step.
What you’ll see here are moments in that journey: sheet mulching, planting days, sketches on paper, and young plants just taking root. These are real AO gardens in progress, designed to become vibrant, resilient,
and joyfully lived in.
Why Atomic Octopus?
Curious, adaptive, and creative — our name reflects how we design and care for gardens. Like the octopus, we reach in many directions, yet every arm connects back to one center: gardens that are alive, resilient, and joyfully human.


Growing Together
AO is more than gardens — it’s people, partnerships, and shared learning.
A regenerative garden is more than plants in the ground — it’s a living system in motion.
