Self Sufficiency, Hands on all parts of the system, woodwork. Appreciation for all parts of the process.
Landscape design using permaculture ideology to set up earthworks to create a landscape that can flourish and thrive far beyond the time when we are here. Adding a plant community of perennial flowers, herbs, shrubs, and trees that work together and support each other.
Being resourceful is a major aspect of this project. Using materials that have been discarded to build buildings, build soil, and feed animals has been used across the property.
Seaweed, Woodchips, leaves, logs, compost, cardboard, have been used for building soil. Logs from other properties, driftwood (which includes round wood and pressure treated lumber) has been collected for building fences and structures. Discarded building materials such as windows, doors, insulation, bricks. Using what has been discarded or seen as waste while also living in a way that generates less waste. Local materials from the site like timbers and rocks are used in building.
See the possibilities in waste and materials that we are surrounded by. Be resourceful with what’s available. We are surrounded by an abundant amount of resources. Sometimes we just have to look outside of our normal mindset to see what’s available.
Artful Abundant Living
Creating a design that is beautiful and harmonious where the man made structures complement and support the life around them. Providing habitat for the other creatures and plants that live alongside us. Considering our interconnectedness as a crucial part of the design. Giving back to the soil.
