  It is difficult to explain permaculture in just a few sentences. After all, it is a holistic and multi-layered concept of garden design and sustainable agriculture. The term permaculture is derived from the words “permanent” and “agriculture” and stands for long-term growing and land management. Permaculture is about taking natural cycles and ecosystems as a model and recreating them in the garden.

=====What is Permaculture? And How to Apply It to Your Garden=====

Permaculture is a philosophy for a sustainable, holistic lifestyle. Ecological researcher and writer, Bill Mollison and David Holmgren coined the term in 1978. They combined the words permanent and agriculture to create permaculture as a system of ecological farming. They later changed it to permanent and culture to include the social needs of people and their housing as well. To put it simply, permaculture works with nature instead of against it. In the wild, ecosystems regenerate on their own and are self-maintaining. Permaculture practitioners observe these natural processes and recreate them on their farms or in their backyards.
