I run Regeneration Farm and Nursery in Woodinville WA. Heres the link to our new website:
regenerationfarmnw.com

We have an edible plant and permaculture nursery specializing in the varieties we are growing or trialing on our farm. We have spent countless hours researching, collecting, categorizing and describing what we believe are the best varieties of numerous uncommon berries, fruits and other plants you can grow here. Try a extra-large-fruiting honeyberry plant for your yard, or see if you can get the elusive true wasabi to thrive for you! If you want a new orchard of Cosmic Crisp apples, or the latest disease resistant hazelnut trees released by the renowned OSU breeding program - we got that!

Thanks for the support! Our nursery and new website will help fund the regenerative agriculture education work we do.

We have an edible plant and permaculture nursery and a really well curated list of resources on our website.

We have a great example of agroforestry alley cropping systems on our farm. Agroforestry is like farm scale permaculture (to oversimplify) - adding trees to agriculture in intentional and highly beneficial ways.

We often give tours and workshops which are great for local folks looking to do similar things in the Pacific NW.

Check us out and lets connect!

Hey there, love to connect on this. I am doing a similar project in Woodinville on a 2 acre plot that seems to share many features of yours. I am currently consulting and working around the region and am frequently in Snohomish and Skagit. It would be great to see your site and share notes and thoughts. We have a similar plan for the Woodinville acrage and I'd enjoy talking over plant selection, earthworks and plant sourcing too!

thanks so much for the reply marco. i am back at home in the pacific northwest now but next time i am in LA (hopefully in a few months) i would absolutely love to come for a visit. do you have any recommendations for plant/tree sources? also do you have photos you would be willing to share? i didnt have sweet potatoes on my list but sounds like a no-brainer! for now i bought some drought tolerant wildflower seeds from bbb seeds (great company with great seed mixes by region and use) to increase diversity and soil life and just generally make things a little prettier before we have the chance to do any major work.

thanks for the recommendations! im absolutely going to try some of the above mentioned plants. i may seed date palms because i have many seeds. maybe cover crop initially with a mix for the upcoming season. any nursery recommendations out there for plants near LA?

hi folks, im a pacific northwest permaculturist and designer and im going down to LA to stay with a friend who just bought a house in the city with a nice big empty yard. they'd like some help designing things but ive got little experience with the LA climate & plants. i want start by running all their gutters to a "rain garden" in their yard and plant it out with some good stuff for a less-intensive-maintenance-start to their new yard adventure... so far ive looked into what california tropical fruit tree nursery (tropicalfruittrees.com) has to offer but i'd love some help. (i also realize that "rain garden" might be a joke down here, but use that hardscape! right?!) maybe we can do greywater too, any LA guerrilla plumber connects?

what are some guilds that folks have had success with in LA? anyone growing dwarf avocados?
where the best nurseries to buy from down here? i checked out permaculturedesignmagazine.com/resources/plant-nurseries/#california which had a nice list, but any first hand feedback or recommendations for LA specifically?
what about nitrogen fixers and dynamic accumulators?, i read in another thread that comfrey isnt too good in LA, i'd love to just be able to seed as much as i can, but i dont really know what seed to buy haha

should we wait till fall to plant trees out? or are my friends basically going to have to irrigate their trees & no way around it?
who are some rad folks in LA who i can connect to!?!! i'd love to see some LA urban permaculture or just recommendations for places or groups to check out...

thanks a bunch! im going to link up my friends to permies as well so hopefully this will be a fruitful thread for them and me both. and you!
