Biography:
Laura Sweany is a Puget Sound native having enjoyed this distinctive maritime bioregion for over 50 years. She is a 5th generation Washingtonian; farming and gardening are in her blood. Having avidly studied garden design since the late 1980's gives Laura a firm grounding in traditional ornamental design and maintenance. When Laura discovered the concept of Permaculture in 1999 her entire focus shifted. Gone were the plans for elaborate ornamental beds and water-guzzling lawns; instead Laura realized that gardening could be more than 'making things look pretty'. Now her passion is using the whole systems design principals of Permaculture to create sustainable designs that include the whole site, not just the garden. Using techniques like water catchments, solar harvesting, natural pest management and guild-based polycultures to create vibrant and resilient soil, Laura encourages others to recognize the invisible inputs that nature showers each and every property with all the time.
