Permaculture Design Principles
👁️
Definition
A foundational permaculture principle that emphasizes careful observation before taking action, and ongoing feedback-based interaction with a system.
Interpretation
Look before you leap — and keep looking. This principle is the soil from which all others grow. It says: pay attention. Be in relationship. Let the land speak.
Living Invitation
Spend 10 minutes observing something you usually rush past — a corner of your garden, a conversation, a habit. Then gently interact.
