About Stephanie Ladwig-Cooper

Stephanie Ladwig-Cooper is co-owner with her husband of Gaia Creations -Ecological Landscaping and Permaculture Solutions. Since 2000 Stephanie and her husband, Brian, have provided ecological land care solutions for residential and commercial properties in the Northern Sacramento Valley of California.

Stephanie received her permaculture design certificate from Cathe' Fish and Neil Bertrando in March of 2009, took the course again in 2011 with her husband and eldest son (who was 10 years old at the time) and has since taught permaculture workshops and co-taught PDC's in the area.

In 2009 Stephanie worked with 2 other local permaculturists to form the Chico Permaculture Guild (CPG) in Chico, CA. This local group continues today as a program of the newly formed 501(c)(3) nonprofit, Earthshed Solutions. The CPG has been successful providing free monthly gatherings and low to no cost workshops for the local community. In addition, the CPG helped form the Chico Seed Lending Library (CSLL) in 2013.

Currently Stephanie provides permaculture consulting and design services through her business, is President and Programs Director for Earthshed Solutions and a seed librarian for the Chico Seed Lending Library. Stephanie homeschools her 2 older children and is working with her family on their 5 acre farm to develop the site as a permaculture based teaching/demonstration property for the local community.
