What We offer:
Consultation with Guild Member(s) of your choice
Get started with a brainstorming session about what you want, and what we see. Invite one or more of us over for a walkthrough of your back- or front- yard design, and we will offer our views of what’s possible with permaculture principles at the heart of the project. In COVID-19 times, we have flexibility with video, phone, or distanced in-person walk throughs, depending on the yard set up.
Collaborative Design
After the initial consultation, the guild member(s) will go back to the drawing board to create a custom design for your home. As a team, the guild members will come up with a design incorporating all the permaculture ideas you were inspired by during the consultation. We will work WITH you to make the design so that it fits your space and your lifestyle.
Installation
After the design phase, we ourselves will carry out the implementation of the plan, so that no piece of your custom design is lost in translation from designer to contractor. We work as a team so that each aspect gets installed as one piece of a wholistic design. We welcome you to work with us to install your new backyard, so that you get so see it all unfold.
Maintenance
After a yard is transformed, it is essential to do maintenance so that your yard stays vibrant with new life. We offer to come back and tend to your yard, or better yet, train you on how to become a permaculturist yourself and get your hands dirty! During COVID-19, we urge you to do your own maintenance so that you learn these skills yourself! More food growers and water re-users means increased community resiliency! See our tutorial offers—>
***RESILIENCY GARDENING TUTORIALS***
Now that you have a beautiful yard to tend do, learn how to care for it yourself! Hire any of the guild members to come over for one-on-one tutorials in their field of expertise. We can teach you how to prune trees, care for garden veggies, build using cob, upkeep a worm bin, etc, all with a permaculture lens! During COVID-19, we can adjust the tutorials to be video or phone call if the space does not safely allow for distancing.
