EcoPath Solutions

“By making gardening easier and more enjoyable, Hoselink helps people fall in love with their outdoor spaces. EcoPath Solutions complements this by safeguarding the plants and ecosystems that make those spaces possible, protecting biodiversity and soil health so gardens, landscapes, and future generations can truly thrive.”

EcoPath Solutions, led by Director and co-founder Sarah Dunstan, was born from a
lifelong connection to nature and a deep appreciation for biodiversity and the health of ecological systems. With over twenty years of experience in plant pathology, including research and technical roles at the Botanic Gardens of Sydney and the University of Sydney, Sarah has dedicated her career to environmental stewardship.

Based in New South Wales and operating on a national scale, EcoPath Solutions
focuses on protecting agriculture, forestry, and urban landscapes. They specialise in
detecting and testing for Phytophthora, a destructive plant pathogen that is threatening Australia’s biodiversity. They have developed an innovative PhytoGuard® system, a Phytophthora detection tool to help nurseries and land managers detect pathogens early and make informed management decisions.

EcoPath Solutions have been using Hoselink connectors and hoses in the
PhytoGuard® system to enhance their specialised irrigation setup. Sarah chose to work with Hoselink because of the company’s reputation for high-quality, durable products that are specifically engineered for the Australian climate. In the field where EcoPath Solutions conducts sensitive individual and batch testing for Phytophthora using the PhytoGuard® system, the equipment must be reliable and robust.

The integration of Hoselink’s high-quality products has provided EcoPath Solutions with the tools necessary to support their mission of ‘proactive biosecurity.’ By utilising
Hoselink within the PhytoGuard® diagnostic system, the team can rely on a leak-free
process while testing plants for Phytophthora. Hoselink fittings ensure the system can
be deployed in nurseries, quarries, and restoration sites without the risk of equipment
failure or water waste.

Both EcoPath Solutions and Hoselink are Australian companies committed to the health and longevity of our living landscapes. As Sarah summarises:

“Hoselink empowers people to care for their gardens with quality, long-lasting products; EcoPath Solutions shares that commitment to care by detecting hidden plant pathogens, supporting vibrant, living landscapes from the backyard to the bush.”

For EcoPath Solutions, Hoselink’s leak-free, durable fittings and hoses serve as
essential components in the PhytoGuard® system and their broader mission to safeguard Australia’s biosecurity.
