We frequently get questions from people who are curious to learn more about permaculture. Until we create more online CPR-based resources, we can at least share some of the books, videos and other resources we have found to be helpful in learning various aspects of permaculture. Obviously there are a huge amount of great resources out there on permaculture, most of which we have never encountered, so this list really just scratches the surface. I try to provide only one or two works by a particular creator but if you like that person’s work, explore other things they have written/made. Check back every now and again as this list will be updated regularly as we discover new content! If you have any good ideas for this list, drop us a message and we will check them out when we have time. Also feel free to send us books and videos you would like us to read and watch!

DISCLAIMER: The worldview represented in a number of these resources are secular and do not reflect the worldview or philosophy of the St. Spyridon Center. For more on our perspective, see the above link to CPR. However, just because something doesn’t mention God explicitly doesn’t mean He isn’t present in some way implicitly (true stewardship and permaculture always points back to God somehow), and we can use secular resources to learn and help us develop content that gives Him the glory! It is also worth noting that we may not agree with every single idea presented in every one of these resources so take this list with a grain of salt!

Videos/Movies

Note: these videos mainly offer a different perspective to the conventional farming model and are both informative and entertaining. Some are more permaculture-specific than others. We will be creating a how-to section once we have finished compiling a list of the best resources.
