Episode 1: Permaculture Designer and Teacher Loren Luyendyk talks about the Permaculture principles of Relative Location and Efficient Energy Planning -Zone Planning as it relates to your home garden.
Permaculture is a design system of tools and techniques that can be used to create long-term, regenerative human settlements. Permaculture can be applied to any field, including architecture, agriculture, psychology, building, and business. Permaculture offers us ethics (Earth Care, People Care, Fair Share) and principles that teach us how to work with nature and not against it.
Make your life easier and your garden healthier by good design. Planting your garden in Zone 1, close to your house, will contribute to your garden's success. Many people make the mistake of planting their gardens in Zones 2, 3, or 4 which are much farther from the daily paths they take.
Loren Luyendyk is the owner of Santa Barbara Organics, a Sustainable Landscape and Agriculture Design and Consultation Service. Loren has over 12 years of experience in environmentally sensitive green design.
