I’m excited to share my brand new Permaculture Perennial Guild Design Plan, crafted for gardeners who want more than just a pretty space. This design goes beyond aesthetics — it’s a thoughtfully composed plant guild that supports pollinators, builds soil, provides food, and seasonal beauty.
🌿 What’s Included in the Design Plan?
This downloadable 39-page PDF is packed with resources to guide your planting and planning journey:
- ✅ I’ve designed an example guild plan that is drawn to-scale and labeled with a plant list, of a full sun to partial sun plant guild. It measure 20′ in diameter. A lot of thought and experience was in mind as I thought of each plant and where it should go in the garden.
- ✅ A list of 23 carefully selected perennial plants suited for a permaculture system
- ✅ A full-page informational sheet on each species, including growing tips
- ✅ A bloom chart, seasonal interest chart, and water needs overview to help you visualize the garden’s performance throughout the year
- ✅ A quick-look image guide to help you recognize and organize each plant easily
This design works for backyards, homesteads, and even suburban plots looking to incorporate native, perennial, and edible landscaping elements in a cohesive and functional layout.
🌻 Why This Plan Is Different
As a professional garden designer with over a decade of experience, I created this plan to meet a real need I’ve seen over and over: people want to garden with intention — but they’re overwhelmed by plant choices, spacing, and long-term maintenance.
This plan is not just a list of plants. It’s a system — one that builds on permaculture principles like stacking functions, working with nature, and creating perennial abundance. Whether you’re starting from scratch or want to integrate this guild into an existing landscape, this plan will save you hours of research and trial-and-error.
