Regenerative culture encourages all life to thrive and be resilient to significant change. Regenerative agriculture works with ecology and biology to repair and improve soil health, increase diversity, and strengthen ecosystem resilience, while producing nutrient rich food, clean air and water.
The Kingbridge Centre has invested in a 7,500-square-foot experimental permaculture and pollinator garden, designed to support regenerative food systems and promote sustainability.
What is Permaculture?
Permaculture is essentially the philosophy of living in alignment with nature’s systems rather than against them. It is an approach to land management and settlement design that adopts arrangements observed in flourishing natural ecosystems.

Innovative Practices for a Sustainable Future
The Permaculture garden at Kingbridge employs innovative techniques like Hugelkultur, where wood scraps and fallen trees, from the forest on the Property, are placed at the base of the beds. This method not only minimizes waste but also enhances the soil by slowly releasing moisture, nutrients, and carbon into the root zones of native plants, fostering their health and resilience year after year.

A Living Laboratory for Sustainability
Our permaculture garden features 25 native plant and pollinator species, showcasing the importance of regenerative biodiversity in building resilient ecosystems. In addition to its ecological benefits, the garden functions as a living laboratory, for testing carbon storage and sequestration across varying planter bed designs. This work advances knowledge in sustainable land management practices and supports efforts to combat climate change.

From Garden to Plate
At The Kingbridge Centre, our Permaculture Garden plays a pivotal role in our culinary philosophy. We make the most of our fresh, seasonal herbs by carefully harvesting them in late fall, and preserving them through methods like drying, freezing, and infusing to ensure we have a year-round supply. This practice allows us to incorporate the vibrant flavours of our garden into our dishes, even during the winter months.
