Permaculture design involves several key steps and processes: 1) Data collection including aerial photos, maps, soil/climate data, and site surveys. 2) Comprehensive site analysis using tools like a site analysis kit, GPS, camera and various field testing equipment. 3) Development of a designed report with cost estimates, approvals, and scheduling.
