Imagine stepping out of your home into lush abundant greenery. The air is fragrant with the delicate scent of blossoms and verdant life. You reach up, pick a few cherries, and feel the rush of sweetness as it hits your taste-buds, and milliseconds later your brain. It is hard to believe how much bounty you have harvested from this small space in the last few years with so little labour. You mentally thank the plants surrounding the cherry tree that support each other - and you - in a holistic system. And in the ultimate sign of a successfully designed system, instead of getting out your hoe and weeding tools as you once did, you slip into your hammock and admire the beauty around you.
permaculture [pur-muk-kuhl-cher]: noun.
A system of design that seeks to mimic
the structure of ecosystems to create
resilient and regenerative gardens,
homes, farms,
and communities.
You want to do your part. You want to live more lightly on the Earth. Regenerative design focuses on repairing the damage we have caused to the Earth rather than simply trying to do less bad (which is what ‘sustainability’ seems to mean these days). Permaculture methods and mentalities seek to heal the planet while allowing us to thrive on this Earth for thousands of years. Don’t just preserve resources - create them.
Wild Craft Permaculture will work with you to create a highly productive landscape that produces food for you and your family. The pride that comes with growing your own food is immense, and the flavour is incomparable. Live the epitome of local eating! We focus on perennial systems that do not need to be replanted year after year, but can also guide your annual vegetable planting. Wild Craft’s edible landscapes are not only functional and high yielding but gorgeous as well. Have your flowers and eat them too!
The sustainable landscapes Wild Craft creates are self-supporting systems that require very little maintenance despite their high yield. No one takes care of a forest and yet it functions beautifully because it is a balanced system. Let us design a system for you that mimics this harmony but caters more directly to your needs. Spend more time laying back and enjoying your garden rather than toiling in it.
We all value our independence. It is very fulfilling to be able to say “I did this!”. In a world of outsourcing and computers more and more aspects of our lives are being controlled by others. Let Wild Craft teach you how to be more self-reliant by producing a portion of your own food with ease, learning how to prepare it, and even how to preserve your bounty for the cold winter months.
