The permaculture blog for city-dwellers
Keen to learn how to live more lightly in the city? Me too. For more than a decade, I’ve explored permaculture at the urban scale — via small-space food gardening, low-impact home renovations, a city honesty stall and my own Permaculture Marketing business.
Created in 2012, this permaculture blog explores what’s possible when we city folk embrace more regenerative, connective and calm lifestyles. Because we don’t all want to move to the country.
