Robyn provides consulting in permaculture design for properties to make them sustainable, environmentally aware, and efficient.

By basing decisions on the permaculture ethics that there are three equal parts of a pie that include environmental, social, and economic needs, people can make balanced and wise decisions

about their land, house design, and other consumer and life decisions.  By following the principles of permaculture, people can learn to mimic nature, use efficient and effective means to produce a yield while improving the soil and environment.  

Through a set of questionnaires, Robyn wil work with the land owner to understand what the owner wants, and the activities most desired, and combine that with the natural environment.  She teaches sustainable living practices, soil development, composting, passive solar design, and orchard guilds.  

The philosophy behind permaculture is at the heart of everything Robyn does. She has been an instructor for six different college accredited permaculture labs and has expertise in food through the stages of growing, harvesting, processing, nutritional health, cooking, back to composting.  But it not just food to which the philosophy applies.  Valueing strength in diversity, for example, applies to creative, educational, entreprenurial pursuits as well as economic development, natural environments, and social interactions.
