Getting started with permaculture living: 7 things you can do this week, right where you are
Want your home and family a bit more ready for a world that’s feeling out of balance? Here’s where to begin. No backyard required.
If you’ve been watching what’s happening in this wide world, and the weather doing things it never used to – and wondering what a normal household is actually supposed to do about any of it… you’re in very good company. We hear it every week. Not people wanting to build a bunker, just people who’d like to feel a bit less anxious and a bit more capable, if only they knew where to start.
So we’ve made you a free guide that starts small – seven climate-positive actions we’d tell any friend to begin with. Every one of them is doable this week, whether you’ve got a big backyard, a rented flat, or just a windowsill and a jar… have a peek inside 👀
We’ll send Getting Started with Permaculture Living straight to your inbox, for keeps.
Pop your details in below and we’ll email you the full 19-page PDF. All seven actions with their how-tos, a simple sauerkraut recipe, and a plain-English bit on what permaculture actually is.

What’s inside the guide
So what’s inside? Seven small things that add up to a home that’s better set up for whatever comes:
- Pickle your veggies, so a glut in season becomes good food in winter.
- Swap and share what you’ve got plenty of, and watch a community grow up around you.
- Grow sprouts on the kitchen bench… fresh greens in days, no garden needed.
- Grow three herbs by the back door.
- Vote with your dollar, from where you bank to what you buy.
- Harvest rainwater at home, even if you’re renting.
- Connect with the Traditional Owners of the land you live on.
These are all local, home-based skills – but they’re revolutionary acts also. Because to change this world of ours for the better, we all need to gather ourselves first, and then work out from there.
Who’s this from?
We’ve been at this since 2007 – farming first, then teaching thousands of people to grow, ferment, keep bees and cultivate mushrooms. These days we live in a very normal-looking brick house on the edge of a village, so everything in this guide is stuff we actually do at home.
And the actions are small, but they change how you feel – you stop scrolling and start doing. And if the worst never comes? Well then, you’ve got a cupboard full of pickles and a street full of friends, and that’s a pretty good life by anyone’s measure.
So grab your free guide and get started… and if you get stuck, just hit reply on any of our emails – helping people learn new skills is what we do.
