Permaculture Weekend at Gateway Farm

Day 2: Permaculture Community Showcase

July 13th, 2025

We showcase local and regional permaculturists and their projects, skills and approaches. All this set in Gateway Farm a permaculture-inspired, regenerative & rewilded working farm in Plymouth, Michigan.

There’s such an abundance of projects, practices and people in our permaculture community. Many of these are carried out quietly day to day. Here we put these on stage, give voice, and the public profile they deserve. We share these community solutions that we all need and want.

------------------------------

Permaculture empowers us with critical knowledge and equips us to meet the challenges and opportunities of this current time. The study and practice of permaculture encompasses 1) homesteading, farm and garden design for abundance and sustainability, 2) perennial permaculture gardens and food forests, and 3) how to design and put into practice sustainable living systems – this can be applied landscapes, but it can also guide our design principles for life in general, whether we have land or not.

Are you ready for life-altering, paradigm-shifting, practice-building, inspirational change for the way you are in the world?

This workshop is for you if:

You are tired of seeing the many broken systems all around us and want to be a part of the movement that is regenerating land and creating sustainable solutions.
You feel a pull to work with nature rather than against it.
You would like to start living by design rather than by habitual default.
You are curious how to incorporate ecological design into your gardens, farms, homes, relationships, work and life in general.
You are craving a holistic approach to sharing resources, minimizing waste, and advocating for human needs, earth needs, and the needs of future generations.
You’ve heard about permaculture and want to get your feet wet!
You’d like to get more deeply into permaculture.
