]]> Fruitwood Nursery Live Design Demonstration using the Regrarians Platform® http://permacultureconvergence.com/introduction-to-the-regrarians-platform/ Sun, 05 Aug 2018 00:38:50 +0000 http://permacultureconvergence.com/?p=9446

The Regrarians Platform® bridges the work of Permaculture, Keyline Design, and Holistic Management to determine the priority of different elements of landscape development, their respective permanence and the order in which we design and plan production landscapes and their associated enterprises.

In this presentation this all-star team will introduce the Regrarians Platform® for land planning. The presentation will examine the context from which The Platform was adapted by world renowned farm designer and educator Darren Doherty. The steps of the platform will be introduced and discussed with a focus on the concept of relative permanence in the landscape. We will examine each step through the lens of a live client, Fruitwood Nursery, an established Humboldt food forest and rare fruit nursery. We invite participants to bring their own questions and projects as this is an interactive session.
