    • What is Permaculture?

      Permaculture is a design methodology based on the principles found in nature.

       

      Permaculture is also known as ecological or regenerative design. It is based on the ethics, root practices and principles of nature herself, and can be applied to the garden, the farm, or any living system.

       

      Permaculture is how Earth earths

    • Ethics

      1

      Earth Care

      Care for Earth as the source of life.

      2

      People Care

      Care for People --this why we garden in the first place

      3

      Fair Share

      Return the Surplus to Earth and people

    • Root Practices

      Thoughtful and Protracted Observation

      Start Here

      What is the state of the system? The elements? The relationships? The Energy flow?

      Whole Systems Thinking

      Think Big

      Permaculture offers a way to engage with the whole world -- on a small scale, while keeping in mind a vision for the larger design.

      Start Small then Expand

      Align With Natural Energies and Forces

      We start small, with low risk, then expand what has energy and life.

    • Principles

      of Permaculture Design

      1

      Work With and Within Nature

      Cooperate with natural agencies and forces

      2

      The Problem is an Opportunity

      We are only limited by imagination

      3

      Least Change for the Greatest Effect

      Choose where to place your energy

      4

      Relinquish Power

      To Natural Agencies and Forces

      5

      Relative Location

      Everything is in Relationship

      6

      Stack Functions

      Each Element Can Have Many Functions

      7

      Energy Cycling

      Strive to optimize and cycle energy flow in the system

      8

      Beneficial Connections

      Stability is directly proportional to the number of beneficial connections

      9

      Succession of Evolution

      Give it Time

      10

      Edge Effect

      Creativity Happens on the Edge

      11

      Information as a Resource

      Bad info = bad design.

      Good info is needed for good design

      12

      The Yield is Theoretically Unlimited

      Nature can be infinitely abundant

      13

      Unknown Good Benefit

      Choose to Trust in a Benevolent Universe

    • Permaculture is a Path...

      Nature as Teacher

      A Design System Based on Nature

      Permaculture is working with and within nature.

       

      The name Permaculture comes from Permanent Agriculture- (even though nature is not permanent and agriculture is just one application)

      We are Part of the System

      Humans Have an Important Role

      in practice, permaculture also cultivates a way of being that tends to go much deeper than simply a system of ecological design. By engaging with nature in intimate observation, we gradually become a part of the system and magically and necessarily engage in our own evolution and transformation.

      Everything is a Garden

      Permaculture Design for Deep Transformation

      The ethics, principles, and roots of permaculture practice, can go far beyond the garden or farm and into the invisible structures of our relationships with ourselves and others, as well as our community and organizational structures. By engaging in permaculture, one soon and eagerly applies the approach to other complex systems and challenges.
