Permaculture Consulting & Design Services

Midori believes that any landscape should be an extension of your home and must evoke positive emotions.  Following the permaculture design principals, we can help you see the potential in your garden and yard, and together develop an elegant plan for turning it into an edible ecosystem; one that will save you time, money and resources, while producing a bounty of organic food to enjoy.  

Our consulting services are available to organizations, community groups, businesses, families and individuals.  Grounded in the ethics and principles of permaculture design, our consultations aim to foster deep interconnections between people and place, and to support the creation of systems that are resilient, productive and beautiful.  This may range in scale from individual urban lots to small farms, or urban public spaces and subdivisions.  The design process is as much about you as it is about the land and area we will work with.

Some of our most popular Permaculture Consulting & Design Services include:
  • Walk and Talk Permaculture Design Consultancy
  • Basic Permaculture Design Consultancy
  • Full Permaculture Design Consultancy
  • Permaculture for Business Consultancy
The Midori Consulting Process works in 3 parts.  They can be summed up as:

Part 1 – The Client Interview
A preliminary meeting with you will determine the goals and objectives of the design project.

Part 2 – The Land Walk 
Through careful observation, we will read the landscape and assess the characteristics of the site. 

Part 3 – The Design Report
Different strategies, techniques & plants will be suggested to you in a comprehensive report.
