Permaculture aims to create harmonious lifestyles that respect and preserve the biodiversity of Life. It is a creative design process that gives us the tools and skills to enhance our quality of Life, benefit the community, and prepare us for an uncertain future.

Based on the principles of ecology and sustainability, the Permaculture design process gives us the ‘know-how’ for creating ecologically efficient and productive food and energy systems, buildings and communities.  

Permaculture applies to everyone and anywhere. An invaluable tool for homeowners, farmers, urban and rural gardeners, educators, landscapers,  foresters, neighbourhood organizers and anyone interested in regenerative living. 

Permaculture is creative, imaginative, productive and mostly – fun. We invite you to join a life-enhancing revolution and build the new together.
