Permaculture Design Guide

"What exactly is permaculture design?"

Design encompasses the entire upstream planning process that, starting with a site and an individual or group, defines what will be implemented, where, and how. The choice to plant a hedge or create a raised bed in a particular location is, for example, a result of this process: the means a permaculturist employs to achieve specific outcomes.

Aranya's book presents the stages of permaculture design, from the initial site survey and the outline of the desired outcome or project, to the finalization of the design or its implementation. It is a highly instructive book that methodically explains the various tools used throughout the design process.

It will be particularly useful:

• To all permaculturists: Aranya is a permaculture trainer, and this book is a complement directly related to the short courses: Permaculture Design Course (72h) and long courses: Permaculture Diplomas.
• to individuals wishing to develop their eco-village using permaculture
• to landscape designers and architects who want to benefit from the contributions of permaculture in their landscape or bioclimatic design work.
• to permaculture trainers
• to permaculture designers: professionals offering permaculture design services
