Growing Systems

PERMACULTURE

Permaculture is about creating sustainable human habitats by following nature’s patterns. An ecological design system that inspires and empowers us to create our own solutions to local and global problems. It provides ways to design and create healthy productive places to work, rest and play.

FOREST GARDEN

A forest garden is a garden modelled on the structure of young natural woodland, utilizing plants of direct and indirect benefit to people – often edible plants. It may contain large and small trees, shrubs, herbaceous perennials, herbs, annuals, root crops and climbers, all planted in such a way as to maximize positive interactions and minimize negative interactions, with fertility maintained largely or wholly by the plants themselves.

VEGAN ORGANIC

Vegan-organics is any system of cultivation that avoids artificial chemicals and sprays, livestock manures and animal remains from slaughter houses. Alternatively, fertility is maintained by vegetable compost, green manures, crop rotation, mulches, and any other method that is sustainable, ecologically viable and not dependent upon animal exploitation. This will ensure long term fertility, and wholesome food for this and future generations.
