YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE TO WORK THIS HARD TO FEED YOUR FAMILY...
Growing food the conventional way works… for a while. 

Then: 
  • The pests arrive 
  • The weeds take over 
  • Grass creeps into your beds before your seedlings have a chance 
  • Rabbits, deer, aphids, and beetles treat your garden like a buffet 


And after all that work, you're left with a single tomato to show for it. 


This is when most people quit... and it makes sense. 


Constant weeding, spraying, and replanting has a way of killing the joy out of something you genuinely wanted to do. 


After enough seasons of fighting your garden, it's hard not to wonder if you were just naive to think it could work.  


"Maybe I'm just stuck with grocery store tomatoes... and prices..."
But here's the thing...
You didn't start growing a garden just to fight with it.
You wanted food you could trust. 

More control over what ends up on your family's table. 

The security of knowing that if grocery store shelves looked a little thin, you'd be okay. 

You're not being naive. You're just doing one of the most practical things a person can do right now.

The problem was never you. The conventional approach works against you from the start...

... and nobody told you there was another way.
PERMACUTLURE CHANGES THE GAME COMPLETELY
What if your garden didn't need you to fight for it because it was designed so
everything works together in the first place?
That's what permaculture design does. 

Instead of imposing a garden on your land and then struggling to maintain it, you design with your space… 

…observing how it works, then building systems that support each other. 

Your soil feeds your plants. Your plants feed your ecosystem. Your ecosystem keeps pests in check, retains water, and builds fertility over time. 

The elements on your homestead stop being things you manage separately and start taking care of each other. 

And you stop being the person holding everything together by sheer willpower. 

It's not just a different way of gardening. It's a different way of seeing your space altogether.

And once you start seeing it that way, every decision gets easier. Where to plant. Where to create walking paths. Where to put water or a chicken coop. What to add next. 

The work doesn't disappear. But every season it gets lighter instead of harder.
What People are Saying...

"Mindy has created what seems like the impossible - a totally beginner's approach to a permaculture-designed homestead. She's tackled a huge topic - that can, literally, take years of study - and broken it down in a way that is completely understandable, relatable and doable for the average homesteader. "

 ⎯ Tessa Z.

"This course is teaching me to utilize what I already have, rather than try to "make" my gardens do what I want them to. It's a more natural way of gardening, and it's really exciting to know that by using these principles, my garden work output will be much lighter!"

 ⎯ Kristi S.

Hey, there

I'm Mindy!

Over a decade ago I started my first garden and got my first flock of chickens — and it changed everything. 

I knew the world of 9-to-5 jobs, daycare drop-offs, and living for the weekends wasn't the life I wanted. I just wasn't sure another way was possible. 

Today I'm a Certified Permaculture Designer who has spent the last decade learning and teaching homesteading skills across every kind of space — acreage, suburbs, and even apartments. 

I've seen what works, what doesn't, and exactly where most people get stuck. 

Simple Permaculture Design is everything I wish I'd had when I was starting out. The framework, the design tools, the ecosystem knowledge — all of it in one place, built for real people with real spaces and real lives. If you want to grow food and medicine in a way that's good for your family and the planet, you're in exactly the right place.
LET ME HELP YOU MAKE THAT DECISION
This is for you if:

✓ You're tired of fighting your garden and want a smarter approach that actually works long term 


✓ You're a beginner or intermediate grower ready to stop guessing and start designing with intention 


✓ You want to grow more food and medicine for your family — with less effort every season

This is not for you if:
✗ You're looking for a quick fix or a single-season solution 

✗ You're not willing to observe and learn your space before jumping into action 

✗ You want someone to design your space for you rather than learning to do it yourself

Let's get those Q's out of the way!
I'm happy to answer all of your questions. 

If your question isn't covered here, please reach out to me via email: mindy (at) ourinpsiredroots (dot) com
  • I only have a small yard. Can this help me?
    Absolutely!! As long as you have SOME space you can benefit from a permaculture design.

    In fact, I believe that small properties are where permaculture shines the brightest!

    If you own a modest space and desire to maximize its potential, then this course is perfect for you!
  • I have sloped land/a dry climate/clay soil/etc. Can this work for me?
    Absolutely!! The best thing about permaculture is that it can be used anywhere.

    A lot of permaculture principles, ideas, and strategies have come from indigenous growing and land management practices all over the world.

    Instead of following hard-set rules, we learn to understand how nature works and stays in harmony and we follow her wisdom.

    So whatever your "issue" is, there is an ecological and sustainable solution!
  • What if I'm new to permaculture and gardening?
    Welcome! If you're completely new to permaculture or gardening in general you are in the right place.

    This course breaks permaculture down for you so you can understand the theory and methodology while ALSO gaining practical knowledge you can implement right away.

    This course will help you design your space so that growing food is easy and takes as little time and effort as possible.

    Once you have a great design, you can take your time in implementing it. This is actually a great way to go!
  • Can I learn at my own pace?
    Yes! The course is self-guided and you have access to it for as long as it exists. So, you can take your time or zip through it in one weekend.

    Additionally, I offer 1:1 calls for an additional fee that could be scheduled at another time (and I am happy to give my students a discount).
  • What technology do I need to use for the design process?
    You can use whatever design tools you are most comfortable with.

    I recommend using paper and colored pencils if you're not already familiar with a design tool such as Photoshop.

    But it's up to you and there are no wrong ways of doing it!
  • Is there a Refund Policy?
    Since my courses and resources are digital and available instantly, I’m not able to offer refunds.

    I want you to feel completely comfortable with your purchase, so if you’re unsure whether something is right for you, please reach out before buying. I’m always happy to answer questions and help you figure out if it’s a good fit.

    You can email me anytime at mindy [at] ourinspiredroots [dot] com I’d love to help you choose the resource that will support you best.
Ready to finally grow the way you always imagined?
You've been doing it the hard way long enough.
