What does permaculture look like in real life?

Nestled in southeast Calgary is one of the city’s original thriving permaculture projects – our previous home!

As engineers and long-time permaculture designers and teachers, we’ve traveled the world to learn about sustainable and regenerative human habitat and have implemented many of these concepts on our property. We spent 10 years transforming our inner-city home into a permaculture demonstration site and are proud to show you what we did!
