Grow Permaculture

Permaculture Design Services

We provide short consultations or full designs to help you create the sustainable - and actively regenerative - home or farm you've been dreaming of. We've viewed and analyzed hundreds of diverse sites and can help you save time and money getting the results you want on your site. We work from a holistic, integrated viewpoint - we understand that all elements must be considered to create a truly sustainable and resilient design. We help you assess needs and resources and help connect the dots in a way that will bring your project to the next level, and keep getting better.  We consider that a regenerative approach goes several steps beyond sustainable, as it doesn't just prevent further degradation - it actively heals the earth and communities. An example would be regenerative agriculture which builds depleted soils, increases diversity and wildlife habitat, renews water supplies and makes them healthier, and creates more economic resiliency.

Grow Permaculture

Grow Permaculture... growing permaculture for a sustainable planet!

Create abundance, help the planet. 

Grow Permaculture is a full-service education and regenerative design organization offering a complete range of courses and design solutions. Our mission is to provide the means for people to create more abundance in their lives while caring for the environment and community. We accomplish this with an in-depth client interview, and an analysis and design of your site to create maximum yield with minimal energy and resource use. We also show people how to do this for themselves through our internationally recognized Permaculture Design Certificate Course and introductory, specialty and advanced courses. We are active in our community - mentoring and volunteering for community gardens, urban farming groups and resilience-building organizations.

Exceeded My Expectations

"Grow Permaculture far exceeded my expectations, even after years of experience working with organic gardening methods already. This is just the tip of the iceberg on how much is available for you to learn as you will find out. The depth of how very differently agriculture and water management and land usage really can't be stressed enough."

—Susan Keiffer

"This Permaculture Design Certificate Course changed my life. I feel so fortunate to have the information that will allow me to be fully self-sufficient, off the grid, living with true abundance, and I am grateful that I know how to create abundance for entire communities. I'm certain that working in and with Permaculture is how I can contribute to dramatically improving the world, right now. We really can feed the world and solve most of the world's problems in a garden."

Permaculture Farm Immersion and Whole Farm Design Practicum

We have a beautiful permaculture farm sprinkled with native oak and pines in West Central Florida six miles from a major wilderness area on the Gulf of Mexico.

We are offering apprenticeships to hard working and focused individuals who desire to learn a number of skill sets on a new, working farm. You will have an opportunity to participate in planning, installation and building of systems as well as maintaining and running them. This is a great opportunity for people who plan to start their own small farm and want to learn the ins and outs of moving smoothly from a start up to a resilient, regenerative and economically viable operating farm, or people who just want to see and get some hands on experience with a number of different permaculture systems in one location.
