The Permaculture Design Journal (3rd edition) is an essential tool for educators dedicated to building a greener, more sustainable future. Featuring 58 easy-to-use printable pages, this workbook can be tailored to your classroom needs while helping you explore whole systems thinking.

Whole systems thinking, often called design thinking, draws inspiration from nature—our greatest teacher. It encourages us to see the bigger picture, connecting all the elements in a system and considering their entire life cycle. Applying these principles lets you discover innovative, practical solutions for your garden, home, or community. Stretch your mind and embrace the endless possibilities that whole systems thinking brings!
