A seasoned ecological design company based out of Saint Louis, Missouri, and Denver, Colorado.

We are rooted in the practice of Permaculture Design, a whole system methodology aiming for harmonization between human and ecological communities. From urban neighborhoods to rural agroecosystems, our design work restores and regenerates the projects we are involved in.

Whether we're solving stormwater challenges with green infrastructure, realizing land health and farm productivity potential, or creating interactive landscapes for homes or whole neighborhoods, innovative planning and design is the result.

Students gain hands-on experiences in ecological design, urban agriculture, wise water management, and community development. Lab facilities consist of a greenhouse, subtropical and temperate agroforestry, vegetable gardens, wastewater reuse, and green infrastructure.
