There is an overwhelming abundance of information online about permaculture, but relatively little of it is directly connected to New Zealand. This page is an effort to collect local resources and to help New Zealanders get started on their permaculture adventure.
The strength (and weakness) of permaculture is that it is many things to many people. Ask any two people “what is permaculture?” and I can almost guarantee that you'll get two different answers. At its heart permaculture is design language based on an evolving set of ethics and principles which help us work in harmony with the natural systems of our world.
My favourite way to think of permaculture goes like this: if being indigenous means to be “of a place”, then permaculture is a toolkit which helps us (especially those of us who are no longer indigenous) begin to relearn what it means to be “of a place”.
