All of the permculture sites we've been to so far are in rural areas. This gave people a wrong impression that permaculture design can only be applied in rural farms. On the contrary, the Eco-house in Marikina, Metro Manila is not a rural farm. It's not big and it's in the city!
Located in a 250 square meter residential lot, the Eco-house is the home of veteran permaculture designer and educator, Bert Peeters--a respected figure in the Philippine permaculture movement. And true to its permaculture design, the multi-purpose structure also houses the Philippine Permaculture Association (PPA) head office, a bamboo bike workshop, and a backyard garden.
During our short visit in the eco-house, we were able to talk to the PPA staff and talk about food and the permaculture movement in the Philippines.
We would like to thank Bert and the PPA team; to Sandino and Olga for touring us around the house and showing us its design features. Looking forward to see you guys in the 2nd Philippine Permaculture Convergence!
