Welcome to Eden in the Suburbs!

We take a species-friendly approach to creating self-sufficiency by combining specific plants and systems to benefit both humans as well as the species around us. We choose plants that are native to your zone with your preference in mind.  Whether you live in an apartment with only a balcony, or have an acre of land in the country, there is a permaculture system for you. The great thing about our pollinators is that they can fly! Some pollinators like lady bugs or bees can travel miles to pollinate species, so as long as you have access to outside, we have a design for you! Discover how permaculture can transform your landscape today!

Frequently asked questions

What is Permaculture?

Permaculture is a design system that mimics natural ecosystems to create sustainable landscapes.

How can Permaculture benefit me?

Using Permaculture in landscape designs can improve soil health, water retention, and biodiversity. You can save the bees while having a comfortable and safe backyard for your family and pets. You can naturally eliminate your pest problems, lower your energy bill with specific tree placement, and even lower your food bill. 

What sets us apart from others?

Azaleas are beautiful but also incredibly poisonous to your pets and children. I see many Azalea bushes in the suburbs and Dieffenbachia in airports and offices. These plants are extremely toxic.

This is what sets us apart from others. We choose child and pet-friendly species, as well as plants that benefit you and your family, such as berries or medicinal plants. Allow us to help you create self-sufficiency through native perennials and child-friendly plants.

We also choose specific planting locations in an effort to minimize your heating and cooling needs naturally while maximizing comfort and privacy. (Available with energy zone map design)
