Every site tells a story. This is where we log it ∞ the before, the process, the after, and everything still becoming.
At the ruins of a former multi-racial Anglican church demolished under apartheid forced removals, a spring still flows. The land remembers what was here ∞ and it is ready to give again. EarthBound is preparing the sloped cliff-face land for a community garden, working the spring line into productive life, and building a demonstration space that belongs to everyone who comes to it. St Peter's is the anchor point of Heritage Way ↗, a walking corridor connecting it to Fort Frederick.
Damian Williams of EarthBound named in PE Express coverage of the St Peter's Rainbow Village launch ∞ described as preparing the sloped land for a community garden. Read the article ↗
The site was officially unveiled with National Minister of Sport, Arts and Culture Gayton McKenzie in attendance. MBDA restoration work complete. EarthBound ecological work begins. Read the article ↗
The cliff-face spring that has never stopped flowing is being worked into the garden design. Community clearing days ongoing. Photos coming as the site develops.
The Baakens River runs through the heart of Gqeberha ∞ degraded, forgotten, and full of potential. EarthBound holds a mandate, championed by Shaun van Eck through MBDA, to lead the valley's ecological rejuvenation. The model: corporate sponsors take on their back-boundary land, EarthBound tends it, 50% of all output flows to KhayUbuntu upliftment. The river as artery of a food-sovereign city.
Full proposal going out to MBDA, Nelson Mandela Bay Business Chamber, and the Presidential Climate Commission. Baakens Valley is a primary corridor node. Read the full proposal ↗
Businesses along the Baakens corridor are invited to sponsor their back-boundary land. EarthBound tends it. The river gets cleaner. The city gets greener. Contact us to discuss what your boundary looks like.
A demonstration and learning hub being installed at Isithatha Theatre ∞ where ecological practice meets creative space. This site becomes a living classroom and a proof point for what regenerative design looks like in an urban context.
EarthBound is installing a demonstration and learning hub at Isithatha Theatre. Photos and updates coming as the work progresses.
Four schools. One regenerative system. Food forests, skills guilds, five SA biomes learning trail, ForUs learning passport, and hugel infrastructure ∞ a flagship three-school regenerative development positioned as a replicable proof of concept for every school in the city.
Skills and trades training anchor at Sipho Hashe Comprehensive School. Community-led, anchored by Chippa Ngcolomba (Morningstars FC). Connects youth employment to regenerative land work via ForUs skills passport.
In partnership with Scout troops, EarthBound is starting multiple food forests along the valley corridor nodes ∞ building a distributed network of living food production sites anchored by young people learning the land.
EarthBound is actively seeking its permanent base ∞ a property with year-round water and room to grow. The spatial brief, financial model, and full EarthForming design are complete and ready to build. A smaller site runs a focused green mass hub and demonstration garden. A larger property opens the full network ∞ amphitheatre, food forest, nursery, academy space, fire kitchen, event infrastructure. The right land, partner, or funding pathway brings it to life.
If you know of land in the Eastern Cape with year-round water access ∞ or want to be part of making this happen ∞ we want to hear from you.
