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!

kickstarter orders are sent and pre-orders are sent.

I have modified this thread so it does regular orders.

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.

Personally, I think these cards are twice as good as the previous deck.

The purple deck is glorious!! Beautiful work <3

The font is easier to read than the brown deck and I love how all the people are barefoot

Can't wait to give these out to my peeps!

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!

I voted for the Green deck, but these purple ones are quite amazing to look at, and I agree that these are much easier on the eyes.  I'll be keeping one deck and the rest of my "brick" will be sprinkled along the slow meandering two lane roads in villages and hamlets dotted across the south southwest on

sightseeing adventures.  A high five to all the crew that put this kickstarter project together.

The font is tiny - which makes it more challenging for us older folks - but there’s a lot! of information on them!  Love the artwork!  Just perfect with the topics. (I also like that shade of purple !). Also love how the people depicted are barefoot (except Ferd). I have been through the deck several times but still haven’t found the needle!

So much great inspiring information on each card! My permaculture deck is cherished and in a delicate phase, so perfect timing! Lots of rockets in this one vs. hero’s and hera’s. I definitely need a rocket kiln! Thanks to all the hands and sunshine and worms that made these amazing cards mine!

I will gladly sell you one deck for $50 + $10 in manual processing fees.  In other words, I think our minimum is gonna be 2 decks until they are gone.

Really?  I keep thinking that the needle is waaaaay too obvious.  

The barefoot and overalls thing is all andres.  I think it is super spiffy!  As I was going through early review of the cards, I started to notice a pattern - well done andres!
