[GIY]Struggling with Permaculture? Let’s Fix It—LIVE!”


Your garden should be thriving, Reader,

So why isn’t it?
Too much sun?
Poor soil?
Not enough space?

We’ve got LIVE solutions for you!

  • Are you looking for the best varieties to plant in your area and how to avoid problems with particular plants e.g. blossom end rot for tomatoes?
  • Do you want to maximize your small space by planting a large and useful crop (but you don't know what your options are?
  • Are you frustrated by the fact that all the information on gardening comes from regions that assume you have a steady source of water and rainfall or chill hours?

We know you're part of the GIY Community. But sometimes, the best way to address your specific questions is to hop on a live workshop with us.

That’s why we’re bringing together two live events in the next few weeks —each designed to help you apply permaculture principles in your own backyard.


🌱 Two Ways to Learn Live:

📅 March 19 (This Wednesday)– Establishing Food Forest Abundance in Florida with Jim Gale and Allan Campbell! (Not to be missed, especially if you live in a warmer American climate).
Secure My Spot for the Subtropical Permaculture Workshop HERE.

📅 March 22 (This Saturday) – Build-A-(Permaculture) Guild Workshop at Bethany Farm.
What is this? In-Person & Livestream Personalized Garden Planning. Finally, implement a garden design that works!
