Our Offerings
🌿 Permaculture Design
(Designing with living systems)
Permaculture is a way of designing with patterns and relationships—listening to land, people, and place before shaping change. We support individuals, households, and organizations in creating thoughtful, site-specific designs that work with living systems to cultivate healthy, abundant, and regenerative landscapes.
Includes:
-
Holistic site assessments and whole-systems design
-
Regenerative garden and landscape planning
-
Urban farm and community garden design support
-
Habitat, native plant, and pollinator-focused design
-
Phased design plans for long-term, evolving implementation
🌱 Long-Term Stewardship
(Tending relationship over time)
Permaculture is a way of caring for living systems over time—not a one-time project. We offer ongoing stewardship that supports the health of landscapes and the relationships that sustain them, tending soil, water, plants, and human connection through seasonal rhythms and long-term care.
Includes:
-
Long-term land stewardship and seasonal care
-
Ecological tending and observation-based maintenance
-
Support for edible landscapes, habitat, and shared spaces
-
Stewardship plans that evolve with your site
-
Client field guides with photos, observations, and care rhythms
🐝 Organizational Resilience Consulting
(Living systems support for stewardship-based organizations)
Permaculture is a way of seeing systems and relationships—not only landscapes. We support organizations and groups in applying permaculture principles to their internal systems, operations, and cultures of care so their missions can be held by structures that are resilient, responsive, and alive.
Includes:
-
Living systems design for organizational structures and workflows
-
Operational and governance support through a permaculture lens
-
Care practices for teams, stewards, and shared responsibilities
-
Compliance and documentation support for stewardship-based organizations
-
Facilitation for leadership teams, boards, and working groups
🌻 Education and Workshops
(Learning with living systems)
Permaculture is a way of learning to live in relationship—with land, with each other, and with the more-than-human world. We offer experiential, place-based education for individuals, teams, and communities, grounded in practical skills, systems thinking, and relational practice.
Includes:
-
Permaculture workshops and seasonal learning series
-
Site-based learning in gardens and shared landscapes
-
Curriculum design and facilitation for organizations and community groups

Nature-based learning experiences for youth and adults

Skill-building in stewardship, observation, and whole-systems thinking
"We have never worked with a company exhibiting the diligence, integrity and communication skills of UVD, and we’ve worked with many, in several states. They were transparent and up-front about costs and timelines, and the likelihood of divergence (and its potential cost/benefit) from those things. In sum, they are the very definition of professionalism. Personally, I’ve never met more likable, personable, trustworthy people - we gave them free rein of our property, inside and out. Last, but not least, we felt like their pricing was fair and reasonable. Anyone in need of a highly professional, reasonable, talented landscape company with a focus on creating beneficial habitat for birds and pollinators could do no better than to utilize this dynamic young company. They're a class act in every sense of the word."
