Live Forever through your Legacy
Permaculture systems stand the test of time!
Food Landscapes produce ENORMOUS amounts of food and wealth automatically – FOREVER – whether you or anyone else cares for the ecosystem or not!
Nature does most of the work!
This does not happen by accident.
Automatic Wealth is achieved through GOOD DESIGN!
GOOD DESIGN can mean the difference between
GOOD DESIGN can mean the difference between
SUCCESS and DISASTER!
We know how it feels to be SO INSPIRED you just want to get some trees in the ground ASAP!
The thing is, when we throw trees, fences, structures and access paths randomly, without considering the landscape’s geography and microclimates or nature’s patterns and flows, we can create CHAOS, which can be costly both short and long term.
We need to think things through first.
Permaculture Design Helps Us Design Our Way To TRUE Prosperity
All Physical Landscaping
should really be prefaced with:
- Holistic observation of the landscape
- Extensive planning and research
- Creative design and redesign
The more we work with Nature,
The better life becomes
The more we
work with Nature,
The easier our life becomes
Permaculture Design Emphasises:
- Healthy environments and people
- Energy efficiency and conservation
- Ecological function and fertility
- Symbiotic harmony
- Thoughtful waste management
- The creation of rich soil and high quality food
In Permaculture Design, NOTHING is Arbitrary
Everything has Purpose and Reason
All natural phenomena, patterns and features of the landscape are accounted for, from the big picture to the microscopic details, and all elements arranged symbiotically, so that they benefit each other element.
Combining
Science, Art and Strategy
Permaculture Design is about orchestrating a complex sequence of life-rich events intended to unfold over many years!
Ideally, each element (tree, structure, fence, path) is placed intentionally to fulfill four major criteria:
- Increase beneficial yields
- Perform multiple functions
- Form multiple beneficial connections
- Support workflow and energy efficiency
Maximising the results,
Minimising the work
Such synergy and form enriches our senses, clears our mind and puts us at ease.
Selecting the Right Plants
Not every plant will be suitable for your environment.
Every plant has specific requirements, impacts, sensitivities, strengths and unique characteristics.
For example:
- Certain plants help each other grow.
- Others will antagonise and hurt their neighbours.
Always Start Small
Although it is tempting to launch a massive project, by concentrating our efforts on small, localised areas not only can we have a more powerful effect, we can study the gradual impact of our actions on the environment while leaving options open for further refinement.
