"Permaculture is a philosophy of … protracted and thoughtful observation rather than protracted
and thoughtless labour."  
-Masanobu Fukuoka, Japanese farmer and philosopher

Permanent-culture is a life sustaining society that doesn’t jeopardise the future.  Permaculture is variously described as common sense, revolution dressed up as gardening and an ethical
design process.


Permaculture is working with nature to make a better world for all.  By observing the natural
world we can glean wisdom and see that there are principles at work.  Permaculture design
uses these principles to develop healthy, efficient, integrated systems to provide for our
needs of food, water, shelter, energy and community.  Through Permaculture design we can
improve the quality and productivity of our individual lives, our society and our environment.
