ABOUT

Permaculture & Garden Design & Consultation​

As a permaculture design firm, Eden and Dane helps clients get a more productive yard and more sustainable lifestyle. We love to help people build thriving food systems that will self-perpetuate and be self-sustaining. 

Improving Sustainability​

Eden and Dane can also help you implement more sustainable practices and efforts to lower your carbon footprint. We'll go over water catchment systems (active and passive), composting practices, garden enhancements, as well as power generation and retention. I will create a sustainability report for you that assesses the sustainability of your property and outline ways to enhance or improve the sustainability of your property.

Self-Reliance​

Another focal point of Eden and Dane's mission is to help you expand your ability to be self-reliant from producing your own food to creating systems to generate your own power. That way, you won't be nearly as reliant on the city, county, or municipality for water, power, and more.

Specialty Services

Eden and Dane also offer niche and highly specialized services, notably mushroom inoculation for delicious gourmet varieties, like Lion's mane or Shiitake. Another service is cairn building, which adds permanent rock towers for incredible visual appeal, perfect for the aesthetic yard.

Continued Support​

Even after the completion of a design, consultation, or project, Eden and Dane is here to help. Consultation is always available, and maintenance can be hired to ensure your property is dealt with properly.
