Design Tool

Permaculture Planner

Property design worksheet and yearlong journal, built to walk you through zoning your land by use, mapping water flow and sun, and sequencing what to plant where and when.

A permaculture design is only as good as the site information it is built on, and most people trying to plan their own property have nowhere to put that information down in a structured way. This planner gives you that structure directly - zone mapping worksheets, water and sun tracking pages, and a planting sequence log that carries across a full year.

It is built from the same zoning and sequencing logic we use on paid client design engagements, adapted into a self-guided format. You will not get a custom plan from us through this product, but you will get the actual framework we use to build one, which is often enough for a smaller property or a first pass before hiring anyone.

Who this is for

For the property owner
planning it themselves.

This is built for someone with the time and interest to do their own site planning, not someone looking for a finished design handed to them. If you want to understand your land deeply and make your own sequencing decisions, this gives you the same structure we use professionally.

It pairs well with the Productive Property Audit if you have not already assessed your site - the audit tells you what your land can support, this planner helps you organize what to actually do with that information.

What to know before you buy

This is a planning tool, not a finished design. If you want us to do the site reading and sequencing for you, the Living Property Blueprint or a direct consultation is the better fit.

The worksheets are meant to be revisited across a full year, not filled out once and shelved. Expect to update the planting log as seasons progress.

Common questions

Before you buy.

Is this a replacement for a professional design?No - it is the same framework we use professionally, in a self-guided format. For a property with real complexity, a direct consultation or the Property Intelligence Report will get you further, faster.

Do I need any special knowledge to use it?No prior design experience is required. The worksheets are built to walk you through the process step by step.

How is this different from the Garden Planner?This covers whole-property zoning and sequencing. The Garden Planner is scoped specifically to a single garden bed or growing area.
