Frequently Asked Questions

What is permaculture?

The word ‘permaculture’ was created by Bill Mollison and David Holmgren in the 1980’s to describe a mostly self sufficient, food bearing ecosystem to serve the needs of the grower. However, the ideas used have much older and widespread roots, feeding humans long before industrial agriculture took the spotlight.

Where can I find your nursery?

As a young nursery, we sell by appointment and event only. Check our upcoming events or shoot us a message.

Do you sell bare-root or potted?

We sell what is most efficient for planting, dependent on the season. Dormant fall/spring sales are bare root. Summer sales are potted. All trees are started in living soil.

How can I learn to design a food forest?

The best way to begin is to prepare yourself with knowledge, and the most efficient way of understanding nature is to immerse oneself in it. Observe, interact and read about the ecosystem you strive to create. Volunteer with the grassroots projects around you, and learn from their practices. Attend workshops, either virtual or (better yet), local and hands-on. Check our event schedule or shoot us a message if you still need help.

What do I do if I don’t know where to begin, but want to grow a perennial food system?

For a plug-and-play option, try choosing from our build-a-guild packages. But, don’t forget to begin your journey in education as well, so that you can be an integral part of the system you are planting.
