Herbaculture Design Consultancy
The social enterprise Herbaculture CIC can quote for permaculture designs indoor, outdoor or non land based. I specialize in designing gardens and social systems for health and wellbeing.
I am very keen to make sure early on that you have thought about the following stages:
- THE DESIGN (SITE VISIT, INTERVIEWS, DESIGN PROCESS and DISCUSSION OF DESIGN)
- CREATING THE SPACE/ IMPLEMENTING THE DESIGN
- MAINTENANCE THE SPACE
- FACILITATION OF THE ACTIVITIES WITHIN IT.
Remember that as a Not For Profit Community Interest Company I make sure any surplus goes into subsidizing design work that benefits the community.
