Dushan Batrovic, an avid backyard food gardener who created an app that connects excess harvest to a good home
Backyard food gardener Dushan Batrovic tells us about his journey into food gardening.
After growing up in a family that gardened, Dushan took a break from gardening. But when he started gardening again, the taste of fresh garden produce made him an advocate for backyard growing.
Dushan gardens in two raised beds, along with a garden on his shed roof. As he was making the shed, he thought, “Since I’m creating a roof here I might as well add a bit of real estate to my growing.”

Connecting Backyard Growers with Eaters
Working in the tech industry, and seeing how he and other neighbours could harvest more of their favourite crops than they could use, he wondered about ways to share around excess harvests.
Dushan created an app called SeedVoyage, which helps gardeners who have excess produce connect with eaters.
“I Saw the supply and demand mismatch.”
