Permaculture Garden Design

How you design the layout of your garden will impact your experience and the ecosystem around you. Watch how we designed my DREAM Permaculture Garden:



The more natural shapes you incorporate, the greater harmony your garden may obtain. Symbols to consider:


  • Triangle - Represents the threefold Nature of Existence (heaven/earth/humanity, father/mother/child, mind/body/spirit, etc.)

  • Square - Union of the four elements: earth. air, fire, and water

  • Circle - designated space for energy and consciousness. The circle surrounds the central point of creation.

  • Concentric Circles - Extensions of the central point and meaning behind it. The continuation shows how all things are affected by one another.

  • Vesica Pisces - The intersection of circles create an overlap representing the crossover of the physical and spiritual worlds.

  • Yin and Yang - symbol representing Balance. There is no light without dark, no life without death.

  • Six-Pointed Star - representing the union of opposites: male/female, spirit/matter, heaven/earth, etc.

  • Cross - Represents the point at which Heaven and Earth meet and the harmony of the two.


If instead of raised beds, which can have their benefits, we used Hugelkultur, a more sustainable bed concept in Permaculture, then there are infinite ways to design a garden to match your intentions.
