For many, permaculture is believed to be a practice and system of sustainable living, renewable energy and organic food production developed by intelligent academics and modern-day homesteaders. The truth is that permaculture’s roots go much deeper and to truly regenerate the land and community, we need to give credit and value to the true origins of this way of living and being.

Join Stacey Doll, Executive Director of Root to Rise, on this journey to discover the roots of permaculture and learn why bringing voice to the real history of these beautiful practices is just as important as learning these practices for yourself. How can your deeper understanding of permaculture not just support your own healing and reconnection to the earth but the healing and coming together for us all? How can the stories, history, and culture that provided the foundation for what we call permaculture be uplifted just as much as the framework and systems created for permaculture? Open your hearts as well as your minds, be willing to ask yourself deeper questions, and let’s have an honest conversation of how we truly regenerate the land and lives of all people.

Stacey Doll is a community planner, permaculture teacher, connector, and constant student of regenerative practices, stories, and history. She has a Bachelor’s degree in Urban and Regional Planning, she is a member of the American Institute of Certified Planners, and she obtained her Permaculture Design Certification, advanced certifications, and Permaculture Teacher Training Certification. She has led land use and sustainability planning at the local, regional and state level. She has taught permaculture and regenerative practices in college and high school classrooms, in backyards, with our veterans and children, and online. She loves engaging with the soil and species around her home in Littleton, New Hampshire as well as the passionate, kind and caring people in her community and region. Stacey is a co-founder, and now Executive Director, of Root to Rise (www.roottorise.net).

Plant-microbe interactions not only inform our gardening but offer essential teachings as to how to proceed in life.

Join Michael Phillips for this nippy exploration of soil biology and plant metabolism will rock you. How mycorrhizal fungi enhance plant health is absolutely stunning. Nutrients are delivered by means of “fungus-root” synergy. A boost to green immune function helps keep disease at bay. Expansive fungal networks bring resiliency to ecosystems. Soil aggregate formation addresses carbon flow. Bacteria join in the chorus to make this green world hum. Yet for the longest time, we have ignored basic soil biology and instead disturbed ecosystems at our own peril. Time to change all that, and fast!

Michael Phillips is renowned for helping people grow healthy fruit using herbal protocols. The community orchard movement that he helped found at GrowOrganicApples.com provides a full immersion into the holistic approach to orcharding. His Lost Nation Orchard is part of a medicinal herb farm in northern New Hampshire. Michael is the author of The Apple Grower and The Holistic Orchard, which received Garden Book of the Year honors from the American Horticultural Society. His work has been compared with Sir Albert Howard and J.I. Rodale’s classic books on organic gardening. He teamed up with his wife Nancy to write The Herbalist’s Way, to explore the many paths whereby herbalists find their green niche. Michael’s latest, Mycorrhizal Planet: How Fungi and Plants Work Together to Create Dynamic Soils, will rock you!

Whereas many well intentioned practices are defined by specific metrics and standards, permaculture provides a set of ethics and principles to guide our work in regenerative, adaptation, and resiliency. The permaculture ethics and principles, originally created to provide guidance on designing gardens and homesteads, are often used as guideposts for living. How do set a moral compass for our actions to the planet and to each other? What guiding philosophies support our work in building a more connected, kind and resilient world? What do we value most?

Join Stacey Doll, Executive Director of Root to Rise, in this exploration of permaculture ethics and principles. Offered in a two-part series, we’ll examine these as guideposts for our relationship to our gardens and the land as well as our relationship to ourselves and to each other.
