“Designing for a Sustainable Future”
Permaculture is more than just a gardening style—it’s a whole-systems approach to living in harmony with nature. Our permaculture design services are grounded in the belief that human environments can thrive alongside ecosystems. Through thoughtful planning, design, and implementation, we aim to help you create resilient, sustainable landscapes that nourish the earth and the people who live on it.
What We Offer:
• Site Analysis and Assessment:
Before designing a permaculture system, we assess your property’s natural features: soil, sun exposure, water access, and local climate. This holistic approach allows us to identify opportunities for sustainable design that meets your specific needs.
• Custom Permaculture Design Plans:
We create personalized plans that incorporate zoning, plant guilds, water management systems, and integration of animals or other ecological strategies. These plans are designed to optimize resources, reduce waste, and create abundance.
• Implementation Support and Guidance:
After the design phase, we assist with the installation and setup of systems, such as food forests, raised beds, rainwater harvesting systems, and more. We offer ongoing consulting to ensure successful implementation.
• Maintenance and Long-Term Care Plans:
Sustainable living is a process. We provide maintenance schedules and guidance for your permaculture systems, ensuring that they evolve naturally and remain productive year-round.
Urban Solutions: “Bringing Sustainability to City Spaces”
“As cities grow, it’s increasingly important to integrate sustainable design into urban spaces. Our urban solutions focus on creating livable, eco-friendly spaces that conserve resources, promote biodiversity, and foster community well-being. Whether it’s a small urban garden or a full-scale green infrastructure plan, we bring sustainable practices to the urban environment.”
What We Offer:
• Urban Permaculture Gardens:
We design and install urban gardens for homes, schools, businesses, and public spaces. Our urban permaculture gardens incorporate space-efficient techniques like vertical gardening, hydroponics, and container gardening to grow food in small spaces.
• Green Infrastructure Planning:
From green roofs to rain gardens and permeable pavements, we design solutions that manage stormwater, reduce the urban heat island effect, and promote biodiversity within the city.
• Edible Landscaping:
Transform your urban property into a source of food with edible landscaping that blends beauty and functionality. We design spaces that grow fruits, vegetables, and herbs alongside decorative plants, creating food security and aesthetic appeal.
• Community Gardening & Education:
We work with community groups to create shared garden spaces that encourage collaboration and knowledge exchange. Through workshops and educational programs, we help cities foster resilient food systems and sustainable practices.
Regenerative Agriculture: “Restoring Land, Restoring Life”
“Regenerative agriculture goes beyond sustainability—it’s about healing and restoring ecosystems. Our regenerative agriculture services help farmers, homesteaders, and landowners improve soil health, increase biodiversity, and create self-sustaining agricultural systems that yield long-term results.”
What We Offer:
• Soil Health and Fertility Management:
Healthy soil is the foundation of regenerative agriculture. We assist with soil testing, composting systems, cover cropping, and minimal tillage methods that improve soil structure, increase water retention, and enhance microbial activity.
• Holistic Grazing Systems:
We help you design grazing systems that mimic natural patterns to improve pasture health, increase livestock productivity, and sequester carbon in the soil. These systems also improve biodiversity by encouraging plant and animal diversity.
• Agroforestry and Permaculture Integration:
Agroforestry combines trees, crops, and livestock to create diverse and resilient ecosystems. We assist with the integration of trees into farming systems, focusing on multi-layered cropping, fruit orchards, and silvopasture for long-term ecological and economic benefits.
• Water Management Solutions:
Effective water management is a key element of regenerative farming. We design and implement rainwater harvesting systems, swales, ponds, and irrigation systems that optimize water use and prevent soil erosion.
• On-Farm Workshops and Training:
Through hands-on workshops and consulting, we teach regenerative practices to farmers and landowners. Our training sessions cover topics like composting, rotational grazing, water conservation, and more.
Custom Features
No two designs are the same! We can integrate custom features like:
• Living fences and hedgerows.
• Pollinator habitats.
• Outdoor classrooms and natural play areas.
• Wildlife corridors and wetland restoration.
