- Craig Castree is a passionate soil regeneration specialist, sustainability advocate, and award-winning horticulturist with over 45 years of hands-on experience in growing nutrient-dense food without chemicals. A published author of six books, Craig has dedicated his life to helping others live more self-sufficient, sustainable lives — starting right in their own backyards. He teaches practical, soil-first methods that empower people to grow real food in harmony with nature, no matter where they live. From wholesale nurseries to orchard management, Craig’s roots in horticulture run deep. He currently serves as Vice President of the Werribee Park Heritage Orchard, where he champions heritage fruit varieties and community-based growing. As the founder of the RegenEdible Gardening movement, Craig works with over 12 councils across Victoria to transform urban spaces into edible ecosystems. His message is clear: healthy soil equals healthy people. You can hear Craig regularly on Melbourne radio — including 3AW and Southern FM’s Molly’s Blooming Hour — where he speaks about the power of soil biology, the urgency of regenerating our food systems, and the simple actions anyone can take
