Establishing an edible landscape is part of a practical and hopeful strategy to create the world we want to live in, addressing some of the greatest challenges we face. Our mission is to help people grow abundance in ways that feel accessible, joyful, and deeply rooted in care for themselves, their community, and the planet we share.
We have a lot to gain from re-imagining our outdoor spaces, but if you need more convincing, consider that:
Rooted in purpose
Native and well-paired plants are adapted to thrive with less water, fertilizer, and fuss, making gardening manageable for real life.
Edible and native landscapes sequester carbon, conserve water, and reduce waste, making your yard part of the solution.
Native flowers, shrubs, and trees provide food and habitat for bees, butterflies, and birds that keep ecosystems in balance.
Instead of mowing and maintaining grass, you can create a living landscape that nourishes your family and your community.
Investing once in perennials and smart design can mean years of harvests that provide an added layer of food security and reduce your grocery bill.
Every fruit tree, pollinator plant, or perennial you plant today creates a healthier, more resilient world for generations to come.
At the heart of this work is a commitment to community and lasting change. That’s why 10% of every dollar earned is donated to local food banks, community gardens, and organizations that uplift people, teach essential skills, and cultivate a more hopeful and resilient future.
Hi, I’m Sarah!
I’m a regenerative home gardener, certified permaculture designer, and long-time educator. For me, a sustainable landscape is so much more than what you plant. It’s about how well you can flourish alongside it.
My goal is to support the hope we’re all striving for with education, realistic plans, and community building that make meaningful, long-term change feel accessible. That’s why I started PLOT.
What is Permaculture?
In the simplest terms, permaculture is a holistic design approach to sustainable living. The word was first used in the in 1970s by Bill Mollison and David Holmgren as a combination of the words “permanent” and “agriculture”, but the concepts are derived from ancient techniques developed by indigenous people over thousands of years. The approach centers on the relationships between living beings and their environment, establishing systems that are low-maintenance and resilient by replicating patterns and relationships found in natural ecosystems. This allows people to ensure their needs are met by caring for the land that provides for them.
