The South Side Permaculture Park is designed to be an experimental laboratory and learning center for teaching people about permaculture theory and practice, while serving as a model for rebuilding society in a way that is not just sustainable, but regenerative. The techniques in place in the gardens demonstrate low-maintenance, perennial, self-regulating production systems for […]
Welcome back to the Philosophy of the Southside Permaculture park post series. Part 1: Introduction to Permaculture and the SSPP Part 2: Social Fragmentation, Power Dynamics, and Cooperation vs Competition Part 3: Human/Nature Dualism, Contradictions, and the Thermodynamics of Civilization Part 4: Future Projects, Workshops, and Ways to Get Involved (8/15) Last week we discussed […]

We’re located on the corner of Summit St. and Montclair Ave. in Bethlehem, PA. Our vision is to create a space where members of the community can engage with the systems that make life possible. The South Side Permaculture Park provides a space where people can learn, eat, exercise, and reconnect with the community. Check […]

Food is the cornerstone of our society, and in fact, all life. As such, it is paramount that our food supply be secure and resilient, even in uncertain times. An inability to provide a stable food supply would certainly drive… At the South Side Permaculture Park, we’re growing a variety of flowering plants such as […]
The future is uncertain. We do not know for sure what it will bring. Every model makes simplifying assumptions, and absolute information can never be attained. We do, however, have many methods that can tell us what is likely to happen and what is very unlikely to happen. We can use these methods of general prediction to […]
Human civilization may seem so extraordinarily complicated that it can never be understood in all its minute details and complexities. And indeed it is, but some simple principles of physics allow us to make general claims about society as a whole; at the systems-level. In physics, things move from areas of high concentration to areas […]
One of the hardest things about permaculture, or any project for that matter, is getting started. It can be so overwhelming to balance all of the different environmental factors and dynamic relationships between all the different elements and the environment and create a comprehensive plan that will account for all of them. It might even […]
Title: Beyond the War on Invasive Species: A permaculture approach to ecosystem restoration Author: Tao Orion Rating: 9.5/10 Recommendation: Would definitely recommend! Overview: Beyond the War on Invasive Species is an insightful, inspiring, and practical book that should be read by anyone who is interested in invasion ecology, climate change, or general sustainability. Orion turns […]
