      Go outside.

      Learn Permaculture.

       

      What is Permaculture?

       

      A ecological design system for living using principles found in nature. It is how Earth earths.

      A Design System

      Permaculture ethics, root practices and principles are those of nature herself, and can be applied to the garden, the farm, and indeed any living system including human structures.
      Permaculture is also known as regenerative design or ecological agriculture... permanent agriculture.

      Based on Nature

      We Are Part of the System

      in practice, permaculture also cultivates a way of being that tends to go much deeper than simply a system of ecological design. Somehow, 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.

      Ethics, Principles and Practices

      Everything is a Garden

      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.

      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.
