SITE DESIGN
Our team is available to prepare a permaculture design for your site. Combining the design and drafting talents of Karen Taylor and Melanie Mindlin with the long local expertise of Hazel, we prepare a site design for your property incorporating your goals with the permaculture possibilties for your land and home.
Information gathered during your walk-through can be used towards a permaculture design, although additional visits for seasonal observations, measurement and follow-up questions will be needed.
COUNSELING & WALK THROUGHS
Siskiyou Permaculture offers a basic site walk-through, where we visit your site for a couple of hours and offer comments and advice about your opportunities and constraints. This service is available for farms, homesteads, forestry lands or suburban homes. During the walk through, we will address permaculture elements, zone and sector planning, resources and sequencing for your site.
We offer ongoing counseling on a broad range of issues including earthworks, rainwater harvesting, organic farming, forest management, zoning & land development, plant choices and placement, home design and more. We ask our clients to do the Homework for Homesteaders before a walk through.
TEACHING
In addition to the Permaculture Design Course, Siskiyou Permaculture offers advanced permaculture courses each year, as well as occasional design charettes, online talks and other short workshops. We are available as guest instructors, and present at permaculture convergences and other gatherings.
We strive to bring you the most affordable courses possible while honoring the time and effort of the instructors and organizers. Course participants receive certification through the Permaculture Institute of North America.
