This design shows the expansion of existing vegetable growing areas and productive spaces into the existing lawn of a Maryland property. It has been developed with reference to the location and site, and the client’s requirements, using permaculture design methods. Located in the Coastal Plain region, almost entirely dependent on groundwater for its water supply,Continue reading “Case Study: Maryland Permaculture”

Case Study: Sloping Garden Design
This is a design for a sloping back garden in northern England. The site slopes steeply down from north to south, from the back of the home to the lower end. There is around 2.2m difference in elevation between the highest point outside the back door, to the lowest point close to the end ofContinue reading “Case Study: Sloping Garden Design”
Case Study: Intentional Community
This concept design is for a planned intentional permaculture community set in farmland and woodland in Idaho, covering around 10 acres at the heart of a site of around 25 acres. The idea behind the design is to create a community of around 25-50 people living in a sustainable way and collaborating to grow foodContinue reading “Case Study: Intentional Community”
Case Study: Mediterranean Permaculture Concept Plan
This project is an example of the work I undertake through my Regenerative Farm Design & Agricultural Consultancy services. If you’re planning a farm, estate or smallholding, I can help you avoid common pitfalls and make the most of your property. This site of around 2 acres is located in the Provence region of France,Continue reading “Case Study: Mediterranean Permaculture Concept Plan”
Case Study: Mississippi Permaculture Concept Plan
This is my regenerative landscape design for a site of around 3 acres in Mississippi. The design aims to maximise food production while also providing for the needs of those who live on site and providing attractive and useful family space. The design is, of course, tailored to the client, the site, and the localContinue reading “Case Study: Mississippi Permaculture Concept Plan”
Case Study: Public Park
This case study shows my design for a new public park in England. The site is currently a large grassy area, used in part as a play area for local school children from an adjacent school to the north but otherwise little used. The goal is to turn this area into an asset for theContinue reading “Case Study: Public Park”
Blending Human Requirements and Nature’s Needs
Designs for home gardens and community sites must take into account, of course, the needs of the natural world around us. But they should also meet human needs. Often, it can seem as though these are conflicting. Though at the root, of course, these are one and the same. At the heart of it all,Continue reading “Blending Human Requirements and Nature’s Needs”
Case Study: Healing Garden
Many of us turn to our gardens when we are in need of healing – in physical body or in mind. In this case study, we see a garden where healing is the main purpose – the primary goal was to create a wildlife friendly space where the client could move around easily, and feelContinue reading “Case Study: Healing Garden”
Case Study: Terraced Forest Garden Permaculture Design
This case study shows the first-stage permaculture landscape design for a challenging garden with extreme slope in south western England. Existing retaining walls on a steep slope to the north and north east of the existing home are failing, insufficient and in poor repair. There are concerns that damage could occur to the home. ExistingContinue reading “Case Study: Terraced Forest Garden Permaculture Design”
Case Study: Cambodian Project
This month has been a little different to many for me because rather than working on a number of smaller designs, I have predominantly been working on the next stage of the large project in Cambodia which I shared before. Above, you can see a portion of the regenerative planting plans for the North ValleyContinue reading “Case Study: Cambodian Project”
