About Permaculture

“Permaculture is the conscious design and maintenance of agriculturally productive ecosystems which have the diversity, stability, and resilience of natural ecosystems and the harmonious integration of landscape and people.”
Bill Mollison, Permaculture Founder

Foods grown organically have:

Permaculture aims to create organic sustainable systems which provide food and shelter. Your urban backyard can be planned with permaculture priciples to bring beauty, balance and harmony to you and the environment.
