94% of seed varieties have been lost in the last century.

At Permaculture Gardens we believe in stewarding seeds and promoting seed diversity through seed swaps and exchanges.

The small profit we get from selling our heirloom seeds is used to support our work on seed education nationwide.

Our Mission

We grow to feed our family

We
began changing the way we eat after our first two kids developed severe
food allergies. We soon discovered that the most nutrient-dense, most
organic, tastiest fruits and veggies were the ones we could grow
ourselves.

6 years and many mistakes later, we manage to supplement 25% of our food from growing in our small townhouse. We currently grow 235 lbs/year on 1/40th of an acre!  If we can do it, you can too!

We grow to change the world

Permaculture designer, Geoff Lawton likes to say, “All the problems of the world can be solved in a garden.”

We believe that we can reverse climate change and regenerate the
earth’s environment if each family, the basic unit of society, grows a
garden!

We’ve found this to be true time and again as we build a community of growers online through our GIY program and offline through the after school club we run called, “Sprouts.”

We were once banned by our HOA from growing in our front yard. We’ve
made some heading in our neighborhood as well and we tell that story HERE.

We grow for spiritual reasons

Every garden for us is an opportunity to find God and an opportunity to restore Paradise.

“More in a garden grows, than the gardener knows.”  - Anonymous

β€œGardening symbolizes our race’s primordial acceptance of a
responsibility and role in rectifying the harm done to the creation
through sin.” - Vigen Guiroian

We grow to be happy

We are a very positive family and we love helping other families grow because it makes us happy.

We celebrate YOU landing on our website!  Yay!  You found us!

Now we can’t wait to meet you online or in person. So sign-up for our newsletter below and tell us more about why you grow.


About Permaculture

Permaculture
for us is sustainable design based on observation. It considers all the
players and stakeholders of an ecosystem. The plants, the bugs, good
and bad. The people, their pets, their homes, the community.

Permaculture is also a design system which keeps on improving,
evolving and changing for the better because, in the end, we’re creating
a cyclical economy in our homes and our communities. And we try to
consider the integrated whole rather than the sum of its parts in all
that we do.

What is your definition of permaculture? Feel free to share it on our  Facebook Page.

Permaculture
used to be a word coined from “permanent agriculture.” It has come to
mean much more than that.
For us it means thoughtful and holistic design based on observations of
the natural world in order to bring about sustainable & abundant
living. Whew! What a mouthful.
It’s much easier and much more fun to describe permaculture in a
webinar. We give you lots of those throughout the year, but start with
this one, HERE.

Make your organic food garden a reality!

Learn to grow your own at-home garden so that you can serve your family
the most nutrient-dense, local food that money can’t buy

Image

Perhaps you have:

  • Tried gardening before but those pesky squirrels / rabbit / gophers / deer ate your lettuce before you could harvest them.  
    Sometimes the right kind of fencing can make all the difference.
  • Nurtured your fruit tree but find it fails to produce fruit every year. 
    Some trees take longer than others to produce fruit.  Some trees, need the right amount of nutrition. 
  • Inherited a shade garden but feel like nothing useful or edible can grow in that space.  
    Many of our perennial edibles are shade-tolerant. It’s just a matter of knowing your plant types.
  • Wanted to grow your own food for a while now, but don’t know where to begin.
    We’ve got you covered!

Wouldn’t it be nice if you…

  • Could grow your own produce at home (no matter the size of your yard)

  • Knew which plants were perfect for your climate, soil, and sunlight needs
  • Had a garden that produced enough to feed your family all year long

Well, now you can!

Introducing… Grow-It-Yourself / GIY!

GIY is a 12-month membership to ensure that your organic gardening efforts are

simplified
strategic &
successful!

You’ll learn how to:

design your garden space
create a list of plants that are perfect for your location, and
have access to the resources and tools to grow an abundant garden.

Join fellow gardeners and grow at least
$700 worth of produce in 10×10 square feet*!

(*We and some of our members have proven that this number is a low estimate of what you can grow!)

GIY is a program that makes your food garden dream a reality.


GIY allows you to call any of the following gardens your own:

But first, a little bit about who we are.

We are the Schauders!

Image

Dave, Nicky and their six children!


  • Our garden
    journey began when our first two kids were diagnosed with β€œfailure to
    thrive” due to multiple food allergies. Because of these health issues
    we felt called to grow organic at home and now supply 25% of their
    fruits and veggies from our tiny & shady townhouse backyard.
  • The more we grew, the better we felt physically, spiritually, and emotionally. 
  • The more
    we grew, the more people asked us what our secret was.  So we started
    teaching (and continue to teach) at our local Title 1 schools.   
  • Grow-It-Yourself
    / GIY is the fruit of  many years of researching, testing, and
    implementation combined with the experience of visiting some of our
    clients in different parts of the US.  We wanted to offer something that
    we wished we had when we were just starting to grow:

Mentorship
Community
Stewardship
& above all,
a HUGE HARVEST!

Why GIY?

If you are:

  • Frustrated about not being able to find local & organic produce in the market?
  • Mad about the fact that “approximately 13 to 20 million agricultural US acres were treated with 18.7 million pounds of glyphosate annually.” (Data from the EPA)
  • Intimidated about growing your own food?
  • Disappointed that each year the pests get to your veggies before you do?
  • Wanting to grow more food than ever before?

Then join a program that makes organic gardening and all its complexities,
simple and strategic for you!


What’s included in GIY ?



A self-paced
Garden Course

giy

In
this step-by-step permaculture gardening course you will master the
very basic but essential skills of seed starting, transplanting, and
harvesting.  Here are the (9) nine short modules included in the
program: 





Garden Mentorship

Image

Every
month you will meet with an experienced and accredited permaculture
gardener.  The benefits of having someone experienced look over your
design and process are:

  • You can troubleshoot any problems (think unexpected pests or plant disease) that arise from your unique growing situation.
  • You get the encouragement from someone who has been there before and still managed to grow a harvest!
  • You get accountability from a real, live, human person, to keep you on track with the garden goals so you never get stuck!

These calls are the heart of GIY because
behind every garden is a person and often a family with their own
specific needs.  A garden mentor is someone who is accredited in
permaculture gardening, can see the big picture, and encourage you
towards your next garden goals and keep you committed!

GIY includes group coaching calls and
monthly 1:1 mentoring for 12 months!



Community

giy

For
the 12 months that you are in our program, enjoy the benefit of being
part of a private non-Facebook community where you can:

  • Get clear, directed solutions to any garden problems in a safe, non-judgmental online space
  • Learn from fellow gardeners who have done the program for many years and continue to garden with challenges and many successes
  • Ask your specific questions about dealing with rabbits, poor soil, container gardening and so much more!
  • Easily find the answers to frequently asked questions using an intuitive search function in the forums.
  • Get inspired by progress pictures the community posts of their gardens.
  • Share your progress and celebrate your wins with fellow gardeners across the globe!


Resources to Support You

Image

Don’t know where to begin? Or know exactly what you want to grow, but not quite sure whether your plant combinations grow well together?

Check out the resource design templates & workbooks to
springboard your garden planning!  In GIY, you get access to a regularly
updated archive of:

  • Raised bed garden plans to ensure you have a diverse array of plants to confuse the pests with!
  • Seasonal checklists to help you make sure that you are caring for your tools, the soil, and preparing for unexpected weather.
  • A Seed & Plant Shopping Guide so that you know where to source non-GMO, organic, and heirloom seeds and plants
  • A Plant Calculator, a proprietary tool to help you calculate the number of plants you need to grow to feed your specific family.
  • Your Garden Installation Day Checklist so that you can prepare all the materials and plants you need weeks before you break ground
  • A printable “Planting Calendar” that helps you plot what days you will be starting your seeds, transplanting them outdoors, and harvesting your crops.

and so much more!



Rewards for achieving Milestones

Image

We’ve
seen our most successful gardeners become more motivated and excited to
grow when they know that there are rewards at stake.

Because of this, we’ve included GIY
challenges and contests throughout the year.  We try to celebrate even
your small wins by rewarding you with:

  • Seeds
  • Berry plants of your choice
  • Figs
  • Goumi berry and elderberry cuttings for you to root and grow
  • Handmade dibbers made from reclaimed wood
  • Artisan & US-made garden spades
  • Handcrafted pollinator habitats


SAGE: A Garden Design App

COMING SOON!

What
do you get when you combine garden know-how and technology?  An app
that takes the guesswork out of figuring out what to plant and when.

This software includes a planting calendar
and a garden designer that will remind you when it’s time to start,
transplant, or harvest your crops.  How cool is that?

We are garden geeks!  Research and
development is in our blood.  We’re always finding new ways to innovate
and make gardening easier for everyone.

As a GIY Member you get exclusive access to
the latest version of this app before its release to the public in the
spring of 2023.



The True Cost of GIY

You get all of this for one year
PLUS! The power of knowing how to grow your own food
Image

For only  $399/year

Or a monthly payment plan of $39/month X 12,
you get all the above,
PLUS! the power of knowing how to grow more abundantly each year.

YOU GET:

A step-by-step, 9-module garden course,
 Access to an accredited garden mentor,
The support and inspiration of an exclusive online garden community,
Invaluable planning worksheets,
Rewards for your the work you put into your garden, mailed to you,
And a garden design app to simplify planning even more.

More importantly, you learn to grow food abundantly, season after season!

Some gardeners spend this much on one trip to their local garden center.

But they won’t get the ongoing, 12-month support that you’ll be getting from a GIY membership.

They won’t know what to do when the pests come and decimate your kale.

They won’t know why their plants died and what they could have done to keep them alive.

You’ve tried it alone.

Perhaps hopelessly trying to YouTube your way to garden success.

It’s time for a more intentional approach.
