Mission and Goals

Our Mission

The Phoenix Permaculture Guild (PPG) is to be a source of information, teaching and demonstrating the urgent need for sustainable systems.

The Phoenix Permaculture Guild Emissary will volunteer time and energy, individually and collectively in the furtherance of the public’s knowledge of sustainability, through the Permaculture principles and practices.

Our Goals

• To educate the public on sustainable practices, and to show the full cost of unsustainable systems and businesses.

• To provide information and construct demonstrations to educate the public that Permaculture is a simple way to realign one’s lifestyle to a connected, sustainable, whole conscious planet.

• To offer further education on the practices of Permaculture at the most economical cost possible.

Welcome!

The Phoenix Permaculture Guild is made up of numerous local folks that strive to be solution motivated. A care of the Earth and all its inhabitants is considered.

Collectively we have many skills and much knowledge. We love to share our ways of sustainability. To that end speakers are available for your group.

Tours of local Permaculture homes, workshops, hands-on training, PC design courses and festival demonstration booths makes the Guild an educational force in Phoenix and surrounding areas.
