What is permaculture?

Permaculture is a design system inspired by nature.

Formulated in the 1970s by David Holmgren and Bill Mollison, based on ancient traditions and nature’s systems, permaculture has now spread across the world.

It has been described as a revolution disguised as gardening.

This is why I’ve put together these simple cards to help explain the principles to you, and provide some questions to use when you’re unsure what way to go.
