How to work with me more closely to restore & protect the environment—in your own yard!
Why you DON'T need to do have the "perfect" site to supply your family with fresh produce—and what to do instead.
The 6 myths to avoid when transforming your landscape into a beneficial ecosystem (this will save you so much time and money)!
The 4-part process I use to turn yards into sustainable gardens full of native and useful plants (with more confidence and less trial + error).
The concepts and subject matter discussed in this class can be applied to any growing zone, and provide the basic decision-making framework for beginning your regenerative landscaping journey. The actual implementation and strategies you employ will vary depending on your locations and the specific conditions at your site. Regardless of where you're located, you'll learn the fundamental ways in which water, soil and plants work together to form an ecological landscape.

When I was young, I witnessed my parents succumb to serious health issues tied directly to the toxic chemicals commonly used in landscaping, and I've dedicated my life to demonstrating that it's possible to build beautiful landscapes that help - not harm - both humans and our planet.
I started Shades of Green Permaculture in 2008, and have worked to create regenerative, permaculture-based landscapes for residential clients, farms and municipalities ever since. We've designed and built thousands of regenerative landscapes for clients that work to restore the water cycle, build soil, support pollinators and grow food and medicine. And I've taught 14 Permaculture Design Certificate programs along the way.
Many well-meaning homeowners have landscapes that are unintentionally compounding global warming, and don't realize there are easy-to-implement, values-aligned alternatives. They want to be a part of the solution, but aren’t sure where to start. That's why I created this free class.

Shades of Green Permaculture is a regenerative landscape design, build and education firm located in Atlanta, Georgia. We're on a mission to empower people to be part of the solution to the global environmental crisis we face
Every outdoor space we create contributes to protecting biodiversity; growing food, medicine, and pollinator habitat; building soil, and restoring the water cycle. Your garden, no matter the size, can have a positive impact.
Most gardens are designed to be high input systems⏤water-intensive, chemically-dependent, and high maintenance. Instead of toxic, resource-heavy conventional landscapes, we build health from the ground up by transitioning landscapes to become ecologically-sound, healthy ones. Our work is to reconcile the human built environment and the natural world, creating a conversation between the two that is life-giving.
By building lasting relationships with our clients and students, we empower you to understand and interact with your landscape as you deepen your role as an environmental steward.
