Permaculture Design
 Permaculture can offer some very real benefits to your building design and lifestyle.
Permaculture combines traditional landscape design with perennial plants and animals. It creates productive, sustainable landscapes around homes and buildings. Produce from permaculture systems can include a range of edible foods as well as wildlife habitat and timber. Permaculture is useful in both urban and rural settings. Green Door Design provides a specialist permaculture design service. At your request, we integrate permaculture design with your building design to maximise the benefits of both. We can also provide permaculture designs for existing homes. Ways permaculture can assist your home - careful plant placement creates more comfortable temperatures within a building
