Empower yourself with the know-how to optimize your use of water in the landscape. Water is an essential factor in creating healthy ecosystems - without it plants can’t grow and animals can’t thrive. Permaculture - an ecological design science based on the patterns found in nature - offers a myriad of opportunities for maximizing our use of water.

Heighten your Permaculture design skills in this advanced training with one of the most experienced designers in the northeast. We offer the opportunity to “get dirty” on our site with hands-on experience developing a whole-site water management plan for a developing 13-acre permaculture homestead rich in maturing food forests and a plant nursery featuring native and permaculture plants regeneratively grown.

We will site and dig swales and identify areas for future ponds, paddies, cisterns, rain-water harvesting systems, drainage, productive wetlands, agroforestry plantings and keyline patterning. We will explore in-depth designs for a range of applications and environments from temperate to desert conditions.

Specific topics covered will include:

  • swales
  • keyline water systems
  • integrated agroforestry plantings & grazing
  • siting and installing ponds
  • developing springs
  • gravity fed systems
  • solar pumps, cisterns
  • rainwater catchment
  • intentional wetland wastewater treatment
  • rain garden designs for biofiltration of runoff from parking lots and roadways
  • erosion control
  • stabilizing stream banks
  • and much more!
