Backyard Permaculture Guild Sonoma County

We’re expanding!

Backyard Permaculture Guild is getting bigger! We have created a new guild node in Sonoma County. Helen, BPGs plant person and expert in all things design, drought tolerant, native and food production and Ethan of Waterfolk, expert in all things greywater and rainwater catchement, will be taking on clients up north. You can hire both of them or just one. We also come with a fun cadre of hardworking tradespeople who work for us to help transform your yard or land.
