Lets Define “Permaculture”

OK you have come to our site and seen some of the things that we are and are going to do.  The first question that maybe on your mind is “What is Permaculture?”

Permaculture is a word created by two Australian gents named Bill Mollison and David Holmgren. The word is a combination of “Permanent and Agriculture”.

This is a system that is a creative science of design to solve problems based on natural systems. This system is guided by three ethics - Care of the land. Care of people. Return of surplus/contribution of surplus/distribution of surplus/fair share.

There are many principals involved in this system and Mr. Holmgren came up with 12 principals to design the solutions in our lives.

1. Observe and Interact
2. Catch and store energy
3. Obtain a yield
4. Apply self-regulation and accept feedback
5. Use and value renewable resources and services
6. Produce no waste
7. Design from patterns to details 
8. Integrate rather than segregate
9. Use small and slow solutions
10. Use and value diversity 
11. Use edges and value the marginal
12. Creatively use and respond to change

Now that this is perfectly clear let us show and tell you what it looks like over the coming years.
