PIP PARTNER – Shapescaper

Australian made from locally sourced steel, Shapescaper’s modular landscaping products are designed to last for decades.

Tobias Lestrell wasn’t long out of his manufacturing and design engineering degree when he identified a gap in the landscaping market. It was while working for a small startup in Melbourne that he realised landscapers and designers were limited by what was available off-the-shelf and they had to pay a considerable premium to get quality custom solutions. As a result, Shapescaper was launched to bridge this gap and to offer premium steel landscape products that are infinitely adaptable to any space, really easy to install and, importantly, affordably priced.

ISSUE 35 EDITORIAL

Hello lovely readers, thanks for picking up another issue. Over the last few months I have been chatting to readers about how they feel about Pip and the role it plays in their lives. It is so heartwarming to know how much people love Pip and how they look forward to its arrival.

The people I spoke to are all different ages and live in different parts of the country, but the uniting thing is they all love to grow food. Some are just starting out, some have been growing all their lives but they all share the passion for growing and eating fresh, nutrient-dense food.

IN THE GARDEN – February – May 2025

The moon’s phases and its associated gravitational pull has a significant effect on the behaviour of tidal oceans, so it’s easy to understand how the moon can have a similar effect on the moisture in our soils and plants.
