Join global permaculture ambassador Morag Gamble for this LIVE small-group mentoring program
Ever since my 20s, my work and livelihood has always been permaculture-based. This career has taken me all over the world, working in the most amazing places with extraordinary people on projects that really matter.
I absolutely love permaculture because it offers a real and viable way to make a living while doing something positive for the planet, my community and my household. It enables me to work with a real sense of purpose and contribution.
Now, I want to show you exactly how I made this work.
Throughout the program I am going to share with you my biggest lessons and insights about how to make a thriving permaculture business — so you can create a fulfilling and ethical livelihood for yourself, too.
Permaculture Business Lab curriculum — what’s inside:
- Week 1: Business ideation and brainstorming
- Week 2: Shaping your new business idea, using a permaculture lens
- Week 3: Key starting points for successfully designing and planning your business
- Week 4: How to share your offering and find the perfect customers
- Week 5: Building your business profile and credibility
- Week 6: How to launch your new business
Remember, you don’t need a fully formed business idea to take part in the Lab. A broad concept is just fine as a starting point. There’ll be plenty of time to explore and design a project, service or program that is both profitably and aligns with what you deeply want to do.

Permaculture is a ‘one planet’ way of life that is socially just, life-affirming and caring for the future
The movement is guided by three core ethics — earth care, people care and fair share.
Permaculture is a great way of life and such a fabulous feeling to be of positive service to people and the planet. Every day, you know your efforts are not only enhancing people’s health and lifestyles, but you are contributing to planetary health too.
Is this something you’d like to be doing?
The call for permaculture-skilled people is growing around the world in a whole range of contexts — and it’s only going to get bigger.
By launching a business guided by permaculture ethics and principles, you will become part of the positive and practical movement to address climate and biodiversity crises.
Imagine being able to make a stable living while contributing to the positive change our planet so needs. This is your permaculture business future.

Fair Share scholarships for refugees & youth
Our Institute tithes funds to our partnered charity, Ethos Foundation, to support permaculture projects globally. We practice what we teach and embrace permaculture’s Fair Share ethic by offering scholarship places to women and young people in the majority world — to those who would never have the chance to access a course like this due to economic disparity. We also support indigenous students, refugees and displaced peoples.
