The Greensboro Permaculture Guild (gPg) is a teaching and learning, design and project-oriented cooperative of permaculture practitioners in the Piedmont region of North Carolina growing an abundance of local food in rural, suburban and urban communities.
What is Permaculture?
Permaculture is a form of ecological design, a way to design human habitats (homes, gardens, farms, or cities) that cooperate with and sustain the earth while providing for human needs. It as an organic approach in which both natural systems and human communities meet their needs, now and in the future. [ learn more here ]
