Permablitz
Rapid Permaculture Installation in a Single Day
A Permablitz brings volunteers together to convert an unproductive yard into an edible landscape rapidly. You provide the space. We bring the crew, the skills, and the energy.
What is a Permablitz?
A Barn Raising for Your Backyard
A Permablitz is a community-powered event where volunteers rapidly install a permaculture design on your property. Many hands working together complete months of work in a single day.
The name combines "permaculture" and "blitz." Design and materials are prepared in advance. When the crew arrives, the focus is execution. By evening, your yard is transformed.
Show up with a lawn. Leave with a food system.
How it Works
First, you work with a permaculture designer to create a plan tailored to your site. Once the design is finalized and materials are gathered, we schedule your Permablitz and rally the volunteers.
On build day, the volunteer crew arrives ready to work. Beds get built. Trees go in the ground. Pathways take shape. By evening, your design becomes reality.
One day of teamwork. Years of harvest.

What You Gain From Hosting a Permablitz
Imagine stepping into your backyard and picking dinner. Fresh greens, ripe tomatoes, herbs by the handful. A Permablitz makes that vision real in a single day.
You gain a productive landscape designed for your climate, your soil, and your goals. Every plant has a purpose. Every element works together.
Your family learns where food comes from. Kids watch a yard transform and understand what community effort looks like. That lesson stays with them.
Your neighbors notice. They ask questions. They get curious about what's growing. One transformed yard sparks conversations across the block. Food gardens spread. Lawns shrink. The neighborhood changes, one property at a time.
You reduce your footprint. Less mowing. Less water wasted on grass. More carbon stored in soil.
You build food security. Rising grocery costs matter less when your yard feeds you.
You join a community. Hosts often return as volunteers, helping others experience what they received.
