We have a simple goal of installing Bioswales everywhere that we can…
Our background is in Permaculture design, Herbalism and Project Management with a special focus in ecological restoration using ancient methods and diverse native plants. We are excited to be accessing grants for fruit trees, plants, wood chips, and fire damaged timber (used mostly in hugelkultur projects by burying wood to improve soil and retain soil moisture. Look it up!). We offer full design services, project budgeting, installation and maintenance. No project is too large or small.

Why do we install Bioswales? In 2024, as the Earth heats up and the seas rise, rain falls from the skies too heavy in some locations and rarely in others. As our rain water lands on the ground it is quickly expedited from roofs, roadways, and lawns into a drainage system that combines it with domestic sewage and grey-water, rapidly moving it all into streams, rivers and oceans. The composition of the resulting water has portions of our top-soil, industrial run-off and fertilizers which immediately shifts the ph balance of our ocean habitats leaving large dead zones. According to NOAA scientist, the Gulf of Mexico hypoxic zone or “dead zone”-an area of low to no oxygen that can kill fish and other marine life is approximately 5,827 square miles in 2024. To top it all off, the increased rainfall, instead of recharging our aquifers, syphons away our fresh water supplies.

Bioswales are designed to be exactly level (on contour) to slow, spread and sink the water allowing it to be absorbed by trees, plants and the soil. They create a perfect tree incubation system that retains and generates new topsoil while increasing wildlife habitat and reducing surface temperatures. Growing trees in this manner increases transpiration of 90% of the water they absorb back into the atmosphere and decreases evaporation of water after it pools in the swales. See a video below from one of ours teachers Geoff Lawton.
