Garden Paths From A Permaculture Perspective

About this episode

This episode explores the multifaceted benefits of garden paths designed with permaculture principles, enhancing soil health, water management, and biodiversity.

In this podcast episode, we explore how garden paths can do so much more than provide a place to walk—they can support soil health, manage water, grow food, host wildlife, and even tell a story. Designed with permaculture in mind, paths become a powerful tool for creating a productive and regenerative garden. From living groundcovers and composting mulch layers to contour-based water management and edible edges, you’ll learn how to make every step in your garden work for you and the ecosystem around you.Find the full show notes at https://redemptionpermaculture.com/garden-paths-from-a-permaculture-perspective/
