Burbsteading CourseThere are over 43 million acres of lawn in North America. Combined, our lawns are the fourth-largest agricultural land holding after ranching, corn and wheat. Our backyards are resource rich and we only have to step outside to tap into that abundance.
Whether you live in a subdivision with an HOA, in an apartment, or have a bit of acreage, you can learn the basic ethics and principles of permaculture design to design your own suburban homestead. Permaculture is a design science that is rooted in observation of natural systems and offers a toolkit to meet and exceed our needs. This is an intensive, 12-hour workshop where you will learn step-by-step the basic principles of permaculture design, market gardening and natural farming to design your suburban homestead. Burbsteading is a solution-oriented course where you will take an asset inventory, factor in your wish lists and address the problem areas to transform your yard into a productive Victory Garden that is integrated to catch water, capture and release energy, build fertile and healthy soil, raise animals, cycle wastes, and create abundant, beautiful and productive gardens. At the end of the workshop you will have a site design of your space, complete with plant lists, and a plan to implement it and make your design a reality. In-Person Online Workshops are offered six times a year and a pre-recorded workshop is available at any time. |
ConsultationsWant to get started on a project but need some direction? We specialize in creating edible and medicinal gardens that are acclimated to the North Texas weather and work with you to build your soil for maximum nutrient availability.
Initial consultations are 90 minutes long for $150.00 and additional hours are $50. The fee covers time with a certified permaculture designer who will assess and help the client to plan and focus on their immediate desire(s) for their property. A sketch is done on site and a follow up PDF of plant lists and recommendations for your property is emailed after site visit. I no longer offer larger designs but have created the Burbsteading workshop so you can learn to design your own property and can also refer you to other certified permaculture designers in the area. Virtual Consultations can be arranged. |
