Recently repositioned to encourage the establishment of a growing intentional 
community, a new preliminary Permaculture design of the 25acre property was 
just recently completed as well as an updated species catalog for the farm.

The design projects in our course pertain directly to detailing this plan so 
that good designs have the potential of being implemented. Come help us 
design your most amazing Permaculture community.

The main purpose of the course is to reveal and convey permaculture 
principles and methodologies, which can be applied regardless of climate zone 
or environment. Students will learn the practical skills and knowledge to 
design and implement sustainable systems, through lecture, media, sharing, 
observation, field-trips and many hands-on activities, Although this course 
is offered in Hawaii, we will cover all relevant bioregions.

Laakea Gardens is an emerging intentional community based on Permaculture 
principles. We are located on the Big Island of Hawaii in the rainforest in 
the Puna district. Laakea Gardens offers a space for learning and direct 
experience. It is the result of the ongoing pursuit of sustainable systems 
for over10 years.
