This is a fully playable 52-card deck, where every card highlights a practical gardening or permaculture idea. From soil building and water harvesting to natural structures and low-tech living, each card introduces a real technique people actually use. It’s learning by exposure — no lessons, no jargon, just good ideas showing up again and again.
Some examples of the cards:
Mulch pit
Natural cooling
Cleaners you can eat
Hedgerow/living fence
Community living
Willow feeder
Rocket oven
Rocket kiln
Rocket water heater (unpressurized)
Ahhhh… coincidence! I was looking for info on the cards too. I didn’t realized they were still in the creation stage! I thought I saw references at Christmastime but must have been the previous set. Thanks Carly for asking the question. I look forward to them when they are completed!
Mine arrived yesterday afternoon and I just love them! The topic choices are fantastic and the art work is amazing. The overall design is professional and very appealing. Plus, I really like the color purple.
Received my brick of cards. I hoped it was just the monitor that made them hard to read and hoped they would be better in person..but the font is TINY.
here is first desk (Jack of Spades, top) and new deck, 3 diamonds. bottom) against the newspaper.
They are beautiful, and full of useful info, but ... tiny.

edit to add: I read this card Worm Town, to my mom and she laughed. as that is what she has been doing with our kitchen scraps since I was a little kid!
