What is Permaculture? Permaculture is a sustainable design system that provides for human needs while having positive effects on the surrounding environment.
It is based on the ethics of earth care, people care and fair share, and provides practical solutions to the global crises we are currently facing.
Permaculture is for EVERYONE, regardless of their education, background, or previous experience.
Permaculture is NOT just about trees, or just about gardening! You don't need loads of land to practice it and it's a design method that can be applied to all social systems.

Just because they’re beautiful ….

The ladybird here is pictured on wood sage (Teucrium […]
Gorgeous Tito here joined us in December when his owners could no longer look after him. After an adventurous start, he’s chosen to live next to the outside kitchen where there’s a roof he can shelter under and plenty of attention and he finally seems to be content. After all these […]
Drifts of broom blossom on the roads
Driving home from Pampilhosa this morning I needed the wipers to sweep the rain of yellow petals away. I’ll pickle some flowers in the next days if I get a chance.
It seems incredible that my last post was about the snow! Beautiful spring flowers have popped up virtually overnight.
Jonquils are a lovely part of the roadside scenery between Aradas and Unhais o Velho.
Crocus popping up through the luxuriant chickweed in the […]
