What is Permaculture?

Permaculture is a design system for creating sustainable human environments based on the observation of natural systems.

Permaculture is a positivistic approach that can lead to a happy and healthy life for you and your family.

"What permaculturists are doing is the most important activity that any group is doing on the planet. We don't know what details of a truly sustainable future are going to be like, but we need options, we need people experimenting in all kinds of ways and permaculturists are one of the critical gangs that are doing that."

Dr. David Suzuki, geneticist, broadcaster and international environmental advocate
