Yes, trees are definitely going first. Zoning and neighbors are pretty laid back where I live here in north fl. Been at this house for 15yrs with not very much owed to the bank and less than 5yrs to be an empty nest.

Thanks for your replies. I feel much more assured now that sticking to no more than 2 guilds per year and allowing the process itself to be my teacher is the best course of action for my situation. Again, thanks.

Hi everyone. The design aspect of permaculture has me a little baffled. Could I get away with putting guilds together in random sun exposed areas of my property? So that it will eventually look like a forest like garden. It seems too tedious and overwhelming to put it all together at once. Ex(pear tree, blackberry bush, comfrey, peas, strawberries)Thanks
