Our Services
Permaculture Design, Site-Visits & Consultations
We design Permaculture Ecosystems of all sizes, perform Site Visits and offer Consultations. Our approach includes:
- Water management: we design water retention and diversion systems, such as ponds, swales, drains, rain gardens, and rainwater collection systems.
- Ecosystem restoration: we use earthworks and strategic plantings to restore your land’s ecosystem and improve its health. This may include planting windbreaks, wind channels, condensation traps, sun or cold traps, and other features.
- Composting: We help you design composting units to recycle your organic waste and create nutrient-rich soil for your plants.
- Food production: we design a diversity of symbiotic features for food production, such as food forests, agroforestry or syntropic systems, vegetable gardens, living fences, aquaculture, pollinator/tea/medicinal and herb gardens.
- Energy production: we advise you on the placement of your energy production units, fully integrating them into your design as functional pieces of the whole.
Every project is unique, we work with you to define your goals and needs.

Design Project Management
Large-scale permaculture projects always involve multiple stakeholders, therefore clear communication and coordination are essential.
As project managers, our role is to understand your needs and goals such as the desired function, aesthetic, budget and timeline. We then work with permaculture designers, landscape architects, and other specialists to create a design that meets those needs, taking into account the site conditions, climate and environment. Finally, coordination with all stakeholders is crucial to ensure that the design is correctly implemented.
Education and Mentoring
We educate our clients and landowners on permaculture principles as well as site maintenance. We offer in-person and online courses and personalized mentoring programs.
Some of our collaborators are leaders in the Thrivingwithnature community. We encourage you to join this wonderful growing online community, where you can learn more about sustainable living, growing food and freedom, building your off-grid habitat, and sharing skills and experiences with your peers.
Our approach and working method
We integrate your gardens into the surrounding landscape as functional elements that support the biodiversity of the whole ecosystem.
We start by studying the broader landscape patterns, climate, hydrology, and soil. We look for ways to replenish the aquifer, increase soil fertility and water retention, capture or divert sunlight, water, wind, fire, and other energies.
Next, we focus on each building, designing its immediate surroundings to complement the whole.
This maximizes the vitality of hedges and food production systems, which also serve as water retention and regenerative ecosystem components.
Finally, we work with local plant specialists to introduce the right flora to your space.
This approach creates a solid foundation for generating vibrant life and abundancce of food across the entire landscape over time.
