What is Permaculture?

Permaculture is a system of gardening that utilizes the natural ecosystem so that gardeners are working with the environment instead of against it.

It is a whole system of gardening, and even agriculture, that centers around sustainable practices for growing and maintaining different crops that promote a more natural ecosystem.

This method of gardening has 3 basic tenets:

  • Care for the Earth
  • Care for the people
  • Fair Share

There are also 12 design principles and you can learn more by visiting the Permaculture Research Institute,

Another great book that is highly recommended by everyone is Gaia’s Garden.
