Our philosophy
At Green Man Permaculture, we believe in working with nature, not against it. Our designs are tailored to regenerate soil, conserve water, and enhance biodiversity, creating resilient and beautiful ecosystems.
Permaculture integrates land, resources, people, and the environment through mutually beneficial systems inspired by nature. These twelve guiding principles shape every Green Man project.

I thoroughly understand that there are scientists to whom the world is merely the result of chemical forces or material electrons. I do not belong to this class.
-George Washington Carver
The fact is, that you cannot see all of the facts about anything just by looking at the thing itself. To learn part of the essential truth about grasses, for instance, you have to study the cow!...A fact is relative, and if it is placed out of its relative position it apparently is not a fact, often.
-Luther Burbank
Cooperation, not competition, is the very basis of existing life systems and of future survival.
