Austin Permaculture Guild

Austin Permaculture Guild Austin Permaculture Guild is an educational, networking platform that supports the growth of the permaculture movement in Austin, Texas. What is permaculture?

Bill Mollison (who founded the permaculture movement together with David Holmgren) defines permaculture as “a design system for creating sustainable human environments.” Another definition, coined by Austin area permie Selwyn Polit, is “practical sustainability.” Yet another definition is "the science of maximizing beneficial relationships."

Are y’all ready to get a serious download on how to grow food in harmony with the natural rhythms of the earth?

Taelor Monroe is teaching an in-depth workshop on How to Build a Food Forest, starting tomorrow.

The first two lectures this Tuesday & Thursday (11/19 & 11/20) are on online and can be viewed on your own watch. So there’s still time to get organized and drop into this course.

This Saturday & Sunday we get to dig our hands into the dirt, building berms & swales which are perennial garden beds that passively catch rain water. Then we get to plant another food forest layer !

Our first workshop where planted a berm & swale with all 7 layers of a food forest this Spring is still poppin’ here in the garden. You can see the photos to get a glimpse of how that system turned out. So prolific!!

We are so excited to present to you our first ever Biodynamic workshop we are hosting !

🧚‍♀️Group Acupuncture Healing, an atunement to the energies of Spring, in the Geodesic Zome

🦋Learn all about Biodynamics and where & when to use each prep

✨Ancient Agnihotra Meditation

☄️Bring the energies of the 🌝 Moon and the ✨ Stars to your garden or farm

🌾Locally sourced and homemade catered lunch

The stars hold power and influence over our lives, and definitely over the plant and animal kingdom as well. The practice of biodynamics harnesses the power of the moon and the stars to bring us a powerful and fun practice of composting and soil preparations that quite literally raise the vibration of the earth and also provide vital minerals and nutrients to the plants and soil.

We have 3 incredible Instructors to lead us in this rich practice: Adam Russsell of .tx, Meredith Nile with both & , and Dustin Szumowski also of Thriving Roots Design. This is a beautiful all star cast we are bringing together y’all! Couldn’t be more thrilled to learn and share space with these incredible souls.

Have you ever heard of Biodynamic gardening? It was established by the great Rudolph Steiner, most well known for developing Waldorf Education. This system of farming utilizes a set of soil preparations created using very simple yet very potent ingredients.

We get to create these potent compost preparations that draw energy and power through their decomposition in the earth, gathering micronutrients as well as through their accumulation of energies of the moon and stars.

Join us in healing our Mother Earth and ourselves through this unique and potent practice!

Our How to Build a Food Forest Workshop starts tomorrow! Taelor Monroe will be teaching about how to use earthworks to passively catch rain water, with berms & swales and ponds. These make the perfect planting space for the 7 layers of a food forest. Food forests mimic the natural systems we see in a wild forest, utilizing as many edible, medicinal, and native plants as possible.

A food forest here in Central Texas is most resilient when there is plenty of diversity. Our climate is quite erratic. But we can continue to grow our own perennials foods by having lots of variety, something for every wild waxing and waning season we receive here. So excited to share about all of the wonderful food and medicine we can cultivate here!

Another Permaculture Design Course for the books! We have 18 new certificated Permaculture designers out in the world y’all. There were many tears of joy and gratitude as we celebrated the completion of this course. It’s hard putting into words the depths that we went to during these last 5 weeks. Paradigms were shifted, minds were expanded, lenses were refocused, problems now become solutions.

We plan on hosting another permaculture design certificate course, with a two week intensive format, the first two weeks of June 2025. We will also continue to hold volunteer days every Friday. And we have two more workshops coming later this Fall.

I personally am beyond grateful to be building a new and brighter future alongside these beautiful humans. We’re building the new earth y’all!!

Come volunteer with us on Friday! We’ll be out at finishing up planting a companion planted garden and spreading mulch to tuck in those new plant babies. It’s a fun time and feels good to get our hands in the soil.

We are also putting the finishing touches on some drip irrigation. This is a good opportunity to learn how to install your own drip. It’s much better for the plants and saves lots of water!

We’re at 15009 Fagerquist Rd, Del Valle, TX from 10:30am-2pm. Send us a DM if you’d like to join. See ya soon!
