Permaculture - What is it? 

It has become increasing obvious to me that when I mention Permaculture to people what immediately jumps into their heads is gardening. Permaculture is so much more than that. It is a design science which marries all that Mother Nature has to offer with all the elements of our lives. It works with Mother nature to create beauty, abundance, peace and fulfilment.
Permaculture is not about being rich or poor it need not cost any more than you are already using to supply your worldly needs. But your worldly needs will be more natural and more organic and inevitably create less harm, not only to you and those who immediately share your world, but to the wider ecosystems around you.
How you use Permaculture and what you take from it is a personal choice. However, I will give you a warning, once you see how it works, once you realise your life is richer and more satisfying from having used used the Ethics and principles you will start to use them more often.  
This is the journey I wish to share with you. On every page of this website you will find information you can use in your everyday life. They will give you the knowledge to start using Permaculture from day 1. Why do I do it? Because if your world is made better then this world I inherited from my forebears will be left in a better place for our future generations. 

All this fits comfortably under the umbrella of Permaculture

Permaculture & Gardening.

 If growing your own food with no GMO'S,  weedicides, pesticides,  or chemical fertilisers, in your own space or at a Community Garden is what brought you to this website, please take all the information you can find and freely use it & distribute it for your own plot. If you need clarification or more information please use the contact form and ask. 

    However, the Permaculture garden is a lot more than an organic garden. It is where intelligent design uses free, sustainable energies and resources. It is energy-wise and collaborative to minimise the impact of a site on the surrounding environment. An intelligent design has great potential. It can connect neighbours.

    At the basis of permaculture is beneficial design, it can be added to all other ethical training and skills, and has the potential of taking a place in all human endeavours.

     In the broad landscape, however, permaculture concentrates on already settled areas and agricultural lands. Almost all of these need drastic rehabilitation and re-thinking.  Permaculture uses organic gardening and farming practices but it goes beyond. It integrates the garden and home to create a lifestyle that impacts less on the environment.​

What you will learn

 How to decrease your own ecological footprint, how to grow your own food and create life-affirming conditions for other living things, instead of relying on commercial food supply and all its vices, ethical investment so your money is doing good work and restores community and your local economy to name a few.

    Permaculture teaches us how to design natural homes, how to create abundant gardens, plant food forests, how to build soils and go beyond organics, how to include backyard animals, how to build biodiversity to protect wildlife, regenerate degraded landscapes and ecosystems, harvest rainwater, develop ethical economies and communities, and much more.

    If you are looking for better health, more knowledge, tools for a better, more sustainable lifestyle and to nurturing community then perhaps a permaculture course is your next step. ​
