Permaculture Principles

Permaculture Principles

3 Dec, 2019

Online & Seymour, Victoria | https://permacultureprinciples.com/

An educational website that offers an outline of the permaculture concept using the ethics, design principles and permaculture flower.

The site also makes available a large selection of permaculture related books and resources, supporting independent publishers and self-published authors.

The original concepts outlined were developed by permaculture co-originator David Holmgren and were first published in the Essence of Permaculture in 2002, the precursor to his full length book Permaculture: Principles & Pathways Beyond Sustainability published later that same year. The icons used in the book, and featured in this website, were a collaborative design effort by David and graphic artist Richard Telford.

A collection of images used to illustrate examples of the principles have featured in previous Permaculture Calendars, with contributors the world over. Songs for each of the principles have been made available thanks to Charlie McGee – from the album Permaculture: A Rhymer’s Manual.

Through my deep interest in permaculture-inspired self-reliance and resilience, I offer professional consultancy, support and mentoring to facilitators as you design and deliver innovative, engaging workshops and courses.

Learning is my life! Since childhood I’ve had an insatiable appetite and need to learn, and my life passion has been teaching and nurturing others to learn and grow. Above all, I aspire to live my very best life and to empower others to discover their unique gifts and potential. So, every day that I learn or experience something new is a great day!
