About us
As we face energy, climate and economic challenges, permaculture offers one of the best "tool kits" for moving in a positive and productive direction: resilient communities full of creative abundance. Wherever you are and whatever you are doing, there is some part of permaculture that will make sense for your life and your relationship to the landscape where you live and work. Join us in exploring the possibilities!
We cover topics such as (but not limited to) edible landscapes, gardening, farming, regenerative practices, renewable energy, green building, local currency, rainwater harvesting, composting, mushrooms, local food, forest gardening, herbalism, "green" living, sustainable economic systems, conservation, community-building, relocalization, transition towns, and more!
Also make sure to sign up for the Hudson Valley Permaculture listserv (click here).

Open Garden: Get A Yield
Location not specified yetThis landscape displays abundant berries; see easy plants for food and medicine at this .44 acre site. Get to know the plants and their requirements by observing them in a naturalized setting. This is not row cropping or an orchard, it is a personalized garden that roams over the whole yard. Your host will answer questions regarding selection, siting and maintenance. Stroll the landscape, talk with other gardeners and learn how to intensively cultivate perennials and annuals.
Now at the 5 year mark, the small bare root plants that were installed are thriving. Culinary and medicinal herbs are established along with raspberries, elderberries, strawberries, blueberries, aronia, juneberry, currants,
hazelnut, plum, cherry, peach, grapes. and more. An elevated bed area is reserved for annual planting and newly cultivated beds are still emerging. There is still much to add! This visit will help you understand how a garden can adapt and change over time.Please RSVP and I will give you instructions for parking.
This event is free and open to everyone.5 attendees
