Live With Nature and EZ Permaculture

Start with
observation

A practical permaculture and land-regeneration project in Mid Wales, sharing what can be learned from water, soil, weather, wildlife, food growing and careful first steps.

Live With Nature garden path and planting

Hello and welcome to

Live With
Nature

Live With Nature is being built as a practical learning place for people who want to understand permaculture by seeing real patterns in a real landscape. The focus is not glossy theory. It is observation, small useful interventions, seasonal practice, food growing, habitat, water management and community learning rooted in Mid Wales while remaining useful to people much further afield.

01 Food systems Practical growing, food forests, protected cropping and seasonal abundance without pretending every site behaves the same.
02 Living soil Compost, mulch, no-dig practice, soil cover and patient observation of structure, fertility and plant response.
03 Water in the land Watching how water moves, slows, gathers, erodes, nourishes and changes what is possible across the site.
04 More life Habitat, edges, shelter, biodiversity and resilience treated as part of the growing system, not decoration.

Permaculture
Design

Permaculture design is not a fixed recipe. It is a way of reading a place before changing it: where water enters and leaves, where soil is exposed, where wind dries the land, where shelter already exists, where people can realistically maintain a system, and where wildlife is already showing what wants to grow.

At Live With Nature, that design process is explained through practical examples rather than abstract theory. The aim is to help people make better first decisions: observe clearly, choose interventions that are small enough to manage, protect the soil, slow useful water, increase life at the edges, and build learning from what actually happens.

Where to begin

Practical routes into
regeneration

Choose a route based on what you need now. Beginners can start with observation and small steps. Practical learners can go straight to growing, soil, water, shelter and seasonal tasks. Visitors can follow the Open Day and Land Story material to see how the ideas are being tested on a real site.

Learning Hub

Resource route

Learning Hub

The main directory for permaculture resources, field notes, practical guides, seasonal prompts, downloads and media.

Beginner route

Start Here

A practical first path for people new to permaculture: observe the site, avoid overbuilding, and take one useful step at a time.
Practices

Practice route

Practices

Soil cover, water movement, compost, protected growing, biodiversity, edges and practical systems for real conditions.

Learning pathways

Permaculture
Training

The learning pathway is being built for people who want practical understanding before expensive commitments. It starts with plain observation and grows into seasonal guidance, practice notes, media, downloads, problem-solving pages and eventually deeper learning materials. The structure is deliberately crawlable and page-based so each topic can become a useful resource in its own right.

Suggested first route

Start Here

Begin with a simple observation framework, then move into seasonal prompts, practical tasks and the parts of permaculture that fit the land or garden in front of you.

Story

The Land Story follows the practical evidence behind Live With Nature: water movement, erosion pressure, young woodland, food-forest work, habitat, soil-building, mistakes, recovery, weather and the decisions that shaped the site. It is where the project becomes more than a set of claims.
