How to work with me more closely to restore & protect the environment—in your own yard!
Why “permaculture” isn't as complicated as it seems, and how to get started today!
Take a (virtual) walk with me to check out a real-life permaculture landscape that produces food, medicine, and habitat.
How to work with soil, water, and plants holistically to create a balanced ecosystem in your own yard (no matter your location).
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.

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.
