Malama Aina Permaculture: Edible Landscape Design, Education & Nursery

Malama Aina Permaculture

Form with Function,
Beauty and Productivity

We help you to design, install and maintain practical and beautiful home environments that produce delicious organic food in a sustainable manner.

Our classes and educational materials teach you how to efficiently grow your own food using long lived plants and permaculture methods.

We provide edible plants through our nursery that will thrive locally with little care.

Our volunteering opportunities provide immersive experiences on a tropical permaculture farm that produces most of its food and is completely off-grid.

Eat local and organic,
& grow your own food.

Find inspiration to observe your environment, identify your resources, and work where it counts!
