Money-Pit to Profitable Possibilities
Despi & Pat were on the verge of selling their inherited banana farm. It felt like a financial black hole with no way forward. Now?
They’re bringing a new vision to life: a profitable, resilient wellness and wilderness retreat - aligned with their values, land, and long-term dreams.
"I cannot recommend the Wild Banana team enough, the insights and years of experience they bring to the crafting of a bespoke Masterplan ensures that the plan reflects not only what you actually need, but also what will best serve you and your property long term. Its the bedrock of the entire design process and they are masterful at guiding you through it."

From No Time to Optimised Abundance
Angela runs a business and a household of 5 - she doesn't have time for systems that don't bring in the bacon.Â
She went from working hard in the garden but not seeing the results she wanted, to prioritising the jobs that would bring big impact - producing a ton of food and JOY!
"Working with Wild Banana Design gave me the tools and the advice I needed to create a concrete plan for our space, creating elements of a homestead that now add so much value to our lifestyle."
~ Angela
From Devastating Flooding to Generational Food Security
Thanda NGO's Organic Farmers were experiencing devastating annual flooding - causing lost crops, lost income and food insecurity.Â
Now they have a plan that not only utilises the rain to their benefit and protects their annual crops (and livelihood) - they are building a multi-generational legacy of wealth and food security.
"We worked with Wild Banana Design to go beyond climate resilient interventions and design something holistically sustainable for the community and environment long-term."
~Â Thanda
From Paralysis to Possibility
Andreas bought his farm 20 years ago, but with no clear vision and no idea where to start, he remained stuck - unsure how to move forward and afraid of making the wrong decisions.
Now, for the first time, he has a clear, manageable plan - and the confidence to bring it to life.
“Now I have an Integrated Plan that I can trust - where every decision, both on its own and as part of the whole, has been thoughtfully considered.”
~ Andreas
