Do you want your garden to work for you and not th Do you want your garden to work for you and not the other way around?

So many folks quit gardening because they feel overworked and "underpaid".

This makes me sad because I know how easy and simple gardening can be when using permaculture.

You CAN make your garden do a majority of the work that your doing all on it's own!

Just like a forest doesn't need you in order to grow, your garden can do the same!

Gardening in a cold climate? Does it feel like the Gardening in a cold climate? Does it feel like there’s not enough time in the season to grow an abundance of food?

I get it. We went from zone 8b to now zone 5 and it feels like spring will never come. The ground is still frozen and the night temps are frigid.

BUT there are so many ways to extend your season - this growing dome greenhouse is just one of them.

We have installed used water barrels for thermal mass in the hoop house. The heat they collect during the day will radiate through the night to keep it warmer than outside, this allowing earlier planting of seedlings 🌱

The first two pics are from a growing dome in zone 4!

Second two are from our hoop house.

We’ll be showing you more ways this spring as we implement them but I’d love to know - what have you tried to  extent the season?!

Make your garden weather-proof! It might sound si Make your garden weather-proof!

It might sound silly,  but most gardens aren't weather proof because they are deisgned with conventional growing methods.

With permaculture, you can literally grow in any climate in any amount of space.

To grown veggies year round, there are all sorts of neat permaculture tricks that you can do in a green house!

And food forests and vertical gardening mitigates space issues.

Permaculture yet again is the BEST way to grow!

Do you know WHY we don't have pest or weed proble Do you know WHY we don't have  pest or weed problems in our gardens?

It's simple...

We work WITH nature, not against it - using permaculture.

This might shock you but often gardens with neat and tidy rows have the most problems (even organic gardens).

Why?

Because nature doens't work that way.

So stop stressing about creating a pintrest perfect garden!

Instead, discover how permaculture principles organize a garden the way nature intends so that you can grow the abundance of veggies that you want!

I wish someone had told me THIS before my 1st home I wish someone had told me THIS before my 1st homestead!

That it’s actually BEST  to start practicing permaculture as a renter on a small scale.

Don’t make the same mistake that I did and take on a HUGE project without any experience.

It was exhausting, overwhelming, and confusing.

I highly recommend that you start before you own land so that you feel comfortable with the knowledge, tools, and steps.

Here's why I would NOT build a 100-acre homestead. Here's why I would NOT build a 100-acre homestead.

My first homestead was a large-acreage homestead, and it nearly took me out. It was a horrible idea. I was exhausted and frustrated, and I almost quit.

But then I built a small homestead with a quarter-acre garden, and everything changed.

** Even a small backyard can grow a ton of food! **

So take the pressure off yourself.

Start by growing the top 5 veggies that you LOVE to eat. Spend time in your garden, connect with the plants, nurture them, and watch them go. Then enjoy your first harvest and  how delicious your veggies are.

When you fall in love with growing, harvesting and eating home-grown veggies, you will naturally expand your garden because you'll fall in love with the process.

A key secret of  permaculture is learning how to connect with nature and nurture it. It's much better to have a small garden that you can attune to than 100 acres that you feel estranged from.

Ok, now I want to know your top 5 favorite veggies - comment below!

They are MESSY!

Well, it's more like organized chaos.

You see effortless gardens that use permaculture and mimic nature. And nature doesn't grow in neat and tidy rows! So, neither should you!

It's often the order of neat rows in the garden that causes pest and soil problems, use more water and take more of your time!

So, if you want to grow food in less time, take the pressure off and let your garden get wild

Is social media killing your dream garden? Not li Is social media killing your dream garden?

Not literally, of course, but folks complain that they don't have enough TIME to grow a backyard garden.

I used to think this too...

But then I adjusted my MINDSET and PRIORITIES!

I realized I could spend 2-hours watching Netflix or 2-hours working in my garden. Which do you think had a more significant ROI and improved my life?

After a night of watching Netflix, I didn't have anything to show for it (except maybe I learned something if I watched a documentary).

Whereas, if I spent the evening working in the garden, I ended up creating a more independent and putting home-grown food on the table for my family.... (while saving money)!

THIS is what has allowed me to live a more self-su THIS is what has allowed me to live a more self-sustainable life while running a business and spending quality time with my family.

What is the secret sauce?

Permaculture.

For example, our nature-aligned garden takes on average about 15 minutes a day to tend, and we get thousands of pounds of home-grown toxin-free food.

Or our passive solar straw bale home is designed to collect and retain heat in the winter and stay cool in the summer passively - reducing our energy needs.

And these are just two examples of many more ways that we have used permaculture to create a life that is free and independent of the system...

...without taking all of our time!

THIS is the biggest lie about growing your own foo THIS is the biggest lie about growing your own food!

Growing your own food can be hard.

But eating toxic conventional (& organic) food is hard on your body, mind, and soul...

CHOOSE. YOUR. HARD.

Except....growing your own food DOESN'T have to be hard. And if it has been, it's because you're doing it wrong!

When you learn how to integrate permaculture tools and techniques, you'll see that maintaining a garden is almost effortless.

That's because a permaculture garden mimics nature.

You don't have to go into the forest and help the trees grow, do you?

Of course not! Well, your homestead can function much the same way.

Permaculture is the secret of the busy person with little time.

And you don't want me to go into stats about the issues fast food causes.

This is why so many people are eating more organic, more local food. But the only way to ensure your organic food doesn't still contain toxins is to (drum roll please) -  grow your own!

It doesn't have to take acres of land.

It doesn't have to take tons of time.

The good news is that there are SIMPLE steps that YOU can take TODAY  to dramatically improve your health, wealth and quality of life.

And it all starts with...

Growing food in your backyard using permaculture!

Not only do you eat well, but you also begin to create self-sustainability right in your own backyard, which gives you more freedom, control and well-being.

BUT when intention is followed up with action and repetition - very quickly your external world begins to match your dreams and desires.
