Permaculture Design Core Concepts Cards

Posted by Delvin Solkinson about 7 years ago

Free Permaculture Design Core Concepts Card Decks

"The clearest way into the universe is through the wilderness.

-John Muir 

Permaculture Design Core Concepts Deck

Sharing a toolkit of permaculture principles, design methods and ethics, these cards can support your permaculture practice, learning, teaching, designing and consulting.

Featuring visionary design from Sijay of www.OnbeyondMetamedia.com these cards can be used in countless ways to inspire, evolve and uplift your practical understanding of permaculture. 

Featuring text from Delvin Solkinson sharing Core Concepts learned from Bill Mollison, Rosemary Morrow, David Holmgren, Geoff Lawton, Michael Becker, Toby Hemenway, Larry Santoyo, Starhawk & Looby Macnamara. Additional contributions were inspired by Rob Hopkins, Dave Boehnlein, Richard Wallner, Mark Lakeman, Doug Bullock, Ian McHarg and Percival Alfred Yeomans. Core source inspiration from Robin Clayfield.

The cards are divided into two decks of 90 cards each. 

Deck 1 : Ethics, Attitudes and Strategies

Deck 2 : Design Principles and Methods

This work is the culmination of 15 years of Permaculture Design study by Delvin Solkinson which spanned a PDC, Diploma and Masters Degree with Bill Mollison and the Permaculture Academy, a second Diploma through the Permaculture Institute and a current third Diploma through the Permaculture Association. A final project in a Doctoral level study of Permaculture Education, Delvin has collected these principles and core concepts at 23 different Permaculture Design Advanced Courses and Teacher Trainings as well as a PDC with Rosemary Morrow and Toby Hemenway. 

This is a companion for the Core Curriculum Notes. Together they form a toolkit sharing a creative essence of Permaculture Design. 

Share and support this work to make permaculture accessible in a gamified form which is freely shared with the World Community.

Kristy Trione : Dear Delvin, WE LOVE THESE! Our start the day ritual is to draw a card, translate into Spanish, to practice our Spanish, and for staff to practice English. We can then carry on with more understanding and meaningful dialogue leading to better design. Thank you so much for this beautiful amazing gift. It's making a difference.

Phyllis Boehm
Phyllis Boehm : Permaculture Design Core Concepts Cards are a practical tool used to explore and apply the principles of permaculture. Each card typically represents a key concept or strategy in permaculture design, such as "Observe and Interact," "Catch and Store Energy," or "Design from Patterns to Details." By using these cards, practitioners can better understand and integrate permaculture principles into their projects, fostering sustainable and resilient systems. The cards facilitate learning, brainstorming, and decision-making, making complex ideas more accessible and actionable. Think of these cards as a sim card for permaculture knowledge, providing a direct connection to essential design concepts and strategies.
