Permaculture Design
Our Design Process
Our design work begins with listening.
Every site holds patterns—of sun and shade, water and soil, plants and people, use and neglect. We take time to observe these patterns and work with what is already alive, rather than imposing a one-size-fits-all solution.
We offer permaculture design for people who want to care for their land over time—supporting living systems that grow more resilient, nourishing, and connected through the seasons and years.
Site Observation
and Assessment
We begin with time on your site—observing light, water, soil, plants, movement, and how you already use the space. We listen to your hopes, needs, and capacity for care.
Whole-Site Permaculture Design
We develop a site-responsive design that works with existing patterns and relationships. This may include food systems, habitat support, water care, and ways to tend the land over time.
On-going Relationship (Optional)
Our design work is rooted in the understanding that landscapes are living systems. Design is a beginning—not an endpoint. Some people choose to continue into long-term stewardship with us; others carry the design forward on their own or with their community. Either way, our goal is to support care that grows stronger over time.
Phased Planning
Rather than doing everything at once, we create a design that can unfold in phases—allowing you to move at a pace that feels supportive and sustainable.

Getting Started
If you’re curious about what permaculture design could look like for your home or shared space, we begin with a conversation and a site visit. This helps us understand your land, your hopes, and what kind of support would feel most nourishing and realistic for you.
We believe meaningful change happens in relationship—with land, with people, and over time. If that resonates, we’d love to walk alongside you in tending what you steward.
Drake and crew are an inspiration to work with! She has a great sense of design and knows when to check in with the client to make sure she's on the right track. It's great to work with someone who understands sustainable landscaping and maintenance for urban and rural settings.
