"Highly recommended"—Peter Bane, author of The Permaculture Handbook
Are you excited about permaculture but unclear how to put it into practice for yourself? In this unique, full colour guide, experienced permaculture teacher Aranya leads you through the design process from beginning to end, using clear explanations, flowcharts and diagrams. It is based on course worksheets which have been designed, refined and tested on students over time. Linking theory to practice, he places the ethics, principles, philosophies, tools and techniques directly into the context of the process itself. While written for anyone with a basic grasp of permaculture, this book also has plenty to offer the more experienced designer.
This guide covers:
• Systems and patterns
• Working as part of a design team
• Land and non-land based design
•Design frameworks
• Site surveying and map making
• Interviewing clients
• Working with large client groups
• Identifying functions
• Choosing systems and elements
• Placement and integration
• Creating a design proposal
• Project management
• Presenting your ideas to clients
• And much more!
A great reference for anyone who has done, or is thinking of doing, any kind of permaculture course.

Aranya has been experimenting with what permaculture can do since his design course epiphany in 1996. In the years that followed he designed a collection of gardens, along with a few other non-land based designs, writing them all up to gain his Diploma in Applied Permaculture Design 2003. Since that time he's followed a teaching pathway, that now involves delivering on average ten two-week design courses a year. Along the way he's met many amazing people that give him hope for the future and who in no small way have influenced the content of this guide. Aranya is also a long-term barefooter, certain that this helps him be more aware of nature, stay grounded and walk lightly on the Earth. He is the author of Permaculture Design: A Step-by-Step Guide.
