Grow Permaculture (formerly Permaculture Guild) is a permaculture and sustainability consultant and teaching organization dedicated to forwarding the practice of consciously designing human systems to increase quality of life, while healing the environment. Our consulting services and the information in our courses and workshops can increase abundance, save money and time, help rebuild communities, and repair environmental damage. Our focus is on regenerative solutions for individual homes, community gardens, public spaces, businesses and neighborhoods in urban areas as well as small farms, eco-retreats, and ranches that serve cities, as we believe that creating life-enhancing, ecologically sound communities in cities is a vital component of sustainable living. As volunteers, our focus is on high poverty areas that exist within very degraded ecosystems– these situations can illustrate the power of permaculture solutions and we feel a responsibility - our future and our survival is bound up with all others.
