Permaculture is a design system to live sustainably. That is, setting up your house and garden to create more energy than you use, and to live within nature's limit. I've done a handful of property designs for people since completing my Permaculture Design Course, as a hobby.
The design process starts with taking a brief from you. It needs to fit your vision, functional needs, aesthetics and budget. Next is an analysis of the property. Where are the special niches - where does the sun, shade, wind and rain coming from? How can you minimise your energy running the system. Once a plan is costed we can discuss and stage implementation.
If you'd be interested to have a chat about your place, send me a comment via this page. No cost to you except materials if you're closeby. This is my hobby and I want the experience. If you attend a couple of other Permablitzes, we can organise a working-bee to construct the design in a day.
Here's some designs I've done recently.
Terrific! Where did you do your course? I'm looking for one to do end of this year.

Hi. I know you wrote this a long time ago and maybe the offer isn't open any more, but I'm in the throes of establishing a food forest-y garden and I'd love some feedback and ideas on where to go next. I currently have chooks, quite a few fruit trees and have just put in 9m worth of raised wicking beds.
ReplyDeleteI'm in Bentleigh East, so just a stone's throw from you.
