The best person to design the property of your dreams is you. This book gives you the tools to succeed.

Slices through the Gordian knot that stops most people from realizing their visions.

¿ PETER BANE, author, The Permaculture Handbook

Will help you clarify your own approach to success, and help you navigate complexity with confidence.

¿ RICHARD PERKINS, author, Regenerative Agriculture

Building Your Permaculture Property offers a revolutionary holistic method to overcome overwhelm in the complex process of resilient land design. It distills the authors' decades of experience as engineers, farmers, educators, and consultants into a five-step process complete with principles, practices, templates, and workflow tools to help you:

  • Clarify your vision, values, and resources
  • Diagnose your land and resources for strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats
  • Design your land and resources to meet your vision and values
  • Implement the right design to enhance your strengths and improve your weakest resource
  • Establish benchmarks to monitor the sustainability and success of your development.

When designing a regenerative permaculture property, too many land stewards suffer from option paralysis, a lack of integrated holistic design, fruitless trial-and-error attempts, wasted money, and the frustration that results from too much information and no context.

Building Your Permaculture Property is the essential guide for everyone looking to cut through the noise and establish an ecologically regenerative, financially sustainable, enjoyable, and thriving permaculture property, anywhere in the world.

A valuable tool for individuals in their permaculture journeys.
¿ DAVID HOLMGREN, permaculture co-originator

Exactly what is needed in the regenerative agriculture, homesteading, and permaculture community right now.

¿ CURTIS STONE, author, The Urban Farmer

ROB AVIS, PEng, and MICHELLE AVIS, PEng, co-own Adaptive Habitat, a leading-edge property design firm, and Verge Permaculture, a globally-recognized, award-winning education business. TAKOTA COEN is a permaculture educator, second-generation organic farmer, and co-owner and operator of the award-winning 250-acre Coen Farm. They live in Alberta, Canada.

The best person to design the property of your dreams is you. This book gives you the tools to succeed.
