Create Order out of Chaos

The goal is simple:

productive, ornamental, and ecologically-friendly landscapes. Learn a little about my philosophy of low-maintenance, closed loop design and management: No Mow Permaculture. Imagine Nature working it’s magic all around you, providing you food and medicines while also caring for pollinators and beautifying your surroundings. Maybe it’s not as hard as you think. Combine permaculture growing with pollinator-friendly “no mow” practices and behold: No Mow Permaculture.

The PROBLEM IS THE SOLUTION

We use creative thinking to see the solutions within everyday problems. Permaculture principles thrive in difficult circumstances, including how to grow food on concrete. If we can do that, we have no excuse as to why food can’t be grown everywhere! This donated design for local nonprofit Thrive Peninsula is a great example of having difficult circumstances and making the best of them.
