This is our management plan and vision of regeneration and sustainability here at  Happiness Gardens

Integration of Happiness gardens with the Principals and Design of Permaculture

I picked up a scythe from ScytheSupply last year and have been perfecting my technique. Now mowing the orchard with the scythe to get last year's growth and this year's first cutting cleared out. Lots of thatch present, so it's a lot slower going than a well-mowed area. 

Part 1.1 of the Advanced Permaculture and Digital Design Series with Daniel Halsey Join us for an unparalleled learning experience as we build our international design community. This course is developed to help participants accelerate their expertise in using Adobe Illustrator for digital de...

We have been slowly clearing out some of the shrubby snowberry and aspen saplings to create a more open area for pasture grasses and forbes to grow. Our design plan is for a series of grazing cells, accessed from a central laneway and with sections of food forest planted along contour swales in...

First here is why I earn money at all. SO that I can do Pro-Social work to help community organizations (Listed at end of blog) adapt to and mitigate the effects of a rapidly changing environment in the Cascadian Bio-Region and elsewhere in North America, while farmsteading. The #ErnestGoesTo...

Chickens also feature prominently as farm workers. We have a very large coop that we deep bed with fall leaves throughout the winter. It composts and provides heat to the coop all winter as well as nice deep bedding for the birds to scratch around in. In the spring this mulch is used as a wonde...

Our small flock of romeldale(CVM) sheep are the main workforce at this farm! We chose this breed for their amazing, fine wool that comes in a variety of colours but they also raise fantastic meat lambs. The ewes are prolific, nearly always having twins and occasionally triplets, and great moms. T...

This project is a small scale permaculture farm that I have been developing since 2016. My goal with this project is to create a place that people can see permaculture in action and learn about regenerative methods of production. It is completely off grid - no power and no water other than what ...

We are a small family farm run by Julie Sheen and Tyler Pratt. We grow organic seeds, produce, and flowers just north of Pocatello in fertile Snake River valley soil. By using natural methods of pest control including row cover and diverse plantings, we keep our produce chemical-free. We strive t...

promoting sustainable practices with regeneration of existing community gardens. Develop a few garden are based on permaculture design principals, as an interactive educational nursery gardens, including creating a food forest along the rivers edge.

We do original design not only for ourselves, but also as demonstration cite of new composite net makes.

An average PDC runs for 12-14 days, packing in all the 72 hours of theory into the shortest timescale possible. We want to do things differently and after feedback from PDC graduates they want it differently too – so we have created a 21 day PDC. This will be a unique learning experience giving y...
