Laura Sweany is a professional permaculture teacher and designer with 11 years of experience designing amazing, productive, beautiful and bountiful gardens for homes, schools and communities in the Pacific Northwest. Laura has lectured and taught classes across the Puget Sound region and is excited to help YOU decode the mysteries of your property and it's true potential.

A permaculture site analysis is a design product that allows homeowners to understand and develop the sustainable potential of their home and property. With a site analysis from Laura will partner with you to uncover all the tools and strategies that will make your property bountiful, productive, safe and beautiful for the life of your home.

Understanding your needs, and your property's potential, are the essential first steps in creating a plan of action that will guide you through time. Through a site analysis, Laura will help you understand when and how to make appropriate improvements and creative upgrades to your home and property.

Gardening is America's number one hobby. The average family wastes hundreds of dollars a year buying products and services that are not suited to their location and needs. Rebates abound for investing in sustainable updates to your home, and studies show that your property's value increases with each improvment you make. Investing in a site analysis with Laura provides you with the roadmap to take advantage of these oppotunities and save your precious resources for the things that really matter.
