Port Orford Community Co-op Permaculture Demonstration Garden

A demonstration garden has been an integral part of the original vision for the co-op since the seed for the Port Orford Community Co-op was planted in the community of Port Orford. Thanks to the energy of our amazing garden volunteers, grants from the city of Port Orford, and donations from community members, our demonstration garden is coming to fruition! 

What is Permaculture?

Permaculture (permanent + culture) is the practice of creating ethical and resilient human, plant, and animal systems that mimic nature. Permaculture design practices are guided by a series of ethics and design principles. The POCC Permaculture Demonstration Garden hopes to demonstrate these ethics and principles so that Permaculture can ripple out into our community and beyond.

Stop by any time to check it out and enjoy the "mess" that is part of making Food Forests a reality in Port Orford.

An Early POCC Garden Vision

Note that the above layout is not based on Permaculture principles. The garden has become more "free-form," based on those principles.
