    • Plenty of before and after photos with quite detailed explanations.
    • Includes candid questions from our students.

Once the water harvesting system has been designed then we design for:
* Access (Key paths and walkways)
* Planting areas and grow beds
* Specific plant species – often forming compatible polycultures (guilds) in layers consisting of trees, shrubs, herbs, root crops and other dynamic plants and ground covers.

Aquaponics system off our front porch provides greens all summer and the enjoyment of trickling water, lots of bathing birds and lovely fish.

Hope you enjoyed these.

We teach all of the basic elements of how to create a yard like this in our Permaculture Design Certificate (PDC) courses and our Property Design Mini Courses. Please join us sometime.
