Behind-The-Scenes: Creating a 12-month Permaculture Plan for a 5-acre retirement property

Planning a twelve-month permaculture farm implementation roadmap

The Story

Today we want to take you behind the scenes and show you something cool we created for our client Shree: it’s a 12-month permaculture implementation plan for her property.

The idea here is to prevent overwhelm by answering questions like:

  • where do you start?
  • which projects should you do this year?
  • if you run out of time to do all of those projects, which ones should you prioritise?
  • what’s the best time of the year to do each project in your climate?

Let’s walk you through the “masterplan” for those 5 acres and the logic that went into each decision:

The Problem

“I want to ‘permaculturise’ my property, but I’m overwhelmed by all the possibilities, and frankly a little burnt out. Also I’m not confident that I’m doing this correctly – I don’t want to make a huge mistake that I’ll later regret!”

The Solution
