About Us
"You can solve
ALL the
world's problems
in a garden."
-Geoff Lawton
Forest Fruits Permaculture is a regenerative
landscape design firm and consultancy bringing you
solutions that combine aesthetic beauty and functionality
to build your legacy for the future.
Permaculture is a design philosophy inspired by the self-sustaining
systems found in the wild. By observing raw natural landscapes, we uncover patterns that reveal what works and why.
Through our work, we take you through the stepping stones to drastically transform outdoor environments into wonderfully diverse, healthy, and sustainable havens. Just as importantly, we also drastically transform people’s mindsets.
Bill Mollison, known as the father of permaculture, was an author, scientist, teacher, biologist, and leading voice in the global pursuit of a more sustainable future. His core teaching is this:
At the heart of permaculture lies a profound truth,
that nature is our greatest teacher.
Like meandering streams of a large watershed that create a symphony of interconnected, diverse habitats, we can observe nature’s patterns to regenerate the human legacy on the planet.
We have two choices for the future:
we can work together to take care of the Earth and each other,
or, we can keep doing things the way we are now, a way that hurts the planet and might make things fall apart. If we want a happy, healthy life on this planet, we need to make a big change, and begin to build communities that work in harmony with nature.
By utilizing both ancient practices of land stewardship as well as modern, innovative solutions, we will design for you a system that speaks volumes to your dedication to a living world.
. . .
We draw inspiration for our consultations and designs not only from nature itself but also from the world’s great arboretums, where artistry meets ecological wisdom. Seattle's Washington Park Arboretum, Phoenix's Desert Botanical Garden, Claude Monet's garden at Giverny, Kenroku-en in Kanazawa, Japan, these spaces remind us that gardens are more than places of cultivation—they are bridges between heaven and Earth.
In these spaces where life converges in perfect harmony, every plant and every patch of soil has a role to play. For those of us in a position of prosperity, you have a unique opportunity to use these resources and knowledge to invest into the only true stakeholder: and that is, in living capitol.
