Permaculture:

A Systems Revolution Disguised As Gardening

The term “Permaculture,” coined by Bill Mollison and David Holmgren, is a combination of the words “Permanent” and “Culture.” The vision of Permaculture is a human culture that dynamically sustains a permanently abundant global landscape. 

Rather than doing less harm, permaculture actively seeks to design systems that do more good, making the most of every element of natural systems to create solutions that meet local needs using what’s locally available. 

We study ecosystems to discover how to work WITH them rather than in spite of them.

Our approach is based on the ethics of sustainability:

Caring for the Earth

Guarding human rights

And Investing In Renewing The Ecosystems

By observing every element and its function in a natural system, Permaculture enables powerful, sustainable new solutions for living with and within a renewed landscape. The fundamental approach of systems-level observation, analysis, and participation creates smarter, more sustainable ways of working with natural systems to renew landscapes and the communities they support.
