If you would like to start living sustainably and apply permaculture design to transform your living headquarters into a natural oasis and healing foodscape but don’t know where to start and would like hand by hand one-on- one detailed consulting this is the perfect route to follow.

"Permaculture is a design science that balances community development with ecological sensitivity."

It Emphasizes the harmonious interrelationship of humans, plants, animals and the Earth and shows us how to make the most of our resources by minimizing waste and maximizing potential. In permaculture, we don't plant plants, we plant ecosystems and before planting we design.

It is a common saying for every hour of planting 100 hours of design is the best.

Benefits Of A Perma Design:

• Maximized use of land and space.

• Multi-layered garden planning which increases microclimates & diversity.

• Integration with your surrounding structures (home or business complex).

• Community involvement, education.

• Once design and implementation is established there's a minimal effort in maintenance, minimized waste.

1. Phone Consultations

It is surprising how much information is available on the internet about climate, topography, soils, predominant winds and sun angles for almost any spot in the US (and even the world). As a land or homeowner, we invite you to send us your address and a simple tracing of the property lines, along with what your desire or vision is for the property. We then do our research. In a follow-up phone call (within a week) we will share with you what we have concluded regarding the greatest opportunities and challenges for your property related to your vision.

Research plus 90-min. phone consultation —up to 1-acre or less = $295

For larger properties, add $10/acre

Example: 35 acres = $295 + (34 x $10) = $635

2. WalkAbouts

Angie walks the property in question with the owner and explores what sort of permaculture design strategies and techniques would be most appropriate. This is a verbal assessment with recommendations and rough sketches when/where appropriate. Some useful resources are always provided and/or recommended reading and website links supplied.

$175/hour, plus travel.

2-hour minimum for Residence, 3-Hour minimum for 1-acre+.

Travel is $.60/mile.

Please Note: The full amount invested in either a Phone Consultation or a WalkAbout will be deducted from the price of a Permaculture Design if purchased later.

Permaculture Designs

Following a site visit and/or our research, we can create a permaculture design including a written assessment, a basemap of the property with the design sketched upon it, and a written summary of recommendations.

Prices vary by property size and complexity of the design desired. Here are some estimates for property sizes of 1-25 acres.
