More Than Just A GARDEN
Permaculture is not just about what you grow in the garden, though that’s a brilliant place to start. Drawing from the wisdom of David Holmgren, permaculture is about a profound shift: from simply consuming to becoming a responsible, active producer.
Imagine building households and communities that truly regenerate, that are robust enough to face an uncertain future, and that give back to nature rather than just taking.
It’s a journey towards a more delightful and self-reliant existence, full of quiet revelations.
The real magic of permaculture lies in its 12 design principles.
These aren’t rigid rules to be memorised. Think of them as useful thinking tools – like a freshly cleaned pair of glasses for observing the world around you. They help you spot patterns in nature, understand relationships, and design solutions that make perfect sense for your patch, whatever that ‘patch’ might be.
