Geoff Lawton, a renowned permaculture expert, defines permaculture as a design system for creating sustainable human habitats by following nature's patterns. It involves observing and mimicking the natural ecosystems to create productive and regenerative landscapes. Permaculture aims to work with nature rather than against it, promoting biodiversity, efficient use of resources, and resilience in the face of environmental challenges.

To ensure the safety and health of your plants during shipping, we take great care to pack and send them as carefully as possible. We can send your plants bare rooted or in pot, please ensure you let us know how you want your plants to be shipped. This method allows us to protect the delicate roots of the plants and ensure they arrive in optimal condition. We prioritize the well-being of your plants from the moment they leave our care to when they arrive at your doorstep. Your plants' roots are our priority, and we strive to provide them with the best possible start on their journey to your garden.

Bare root plants are plants that are sold and shipped without soil around their roots. Instead of being potted in soil or a container, the roots of bare root plants are carefully packaged and protected during shipping. At MelDeco, we can send your plants bare rooted or with pot and soil to ensure their safety and health during transit. Please Request Bare root Shipping with final order. This method allows for easier transportation, reduces the risk of transplant shock, and is often more cost-effective compared to potted plants. When you receive bare root plants, you will typically see the roots exposed and ready for planting. It's important to follow specific planting instructions to ensure the successful establishment of bare root plants in your garden. If you're interested in learning more about bare root plants or how to care for them, feel free to ask for more details or tips!

Swales are shallow channels or ditches designed to manage water runoff, prevent soil erosion, and promote water infiltration in landscapes. They are typically constructed on contour to slow down the flow of water, allowing it to spread out and percolate into the soil. Swales are commonly used in permaculture and sustainable land management practices to capture and retain rainwater, reduce flooding, and support vegetation growth. By directing water along the contour of the land, swales help to recharge groundwater, prevent erosion, and create microclimates that support plant growth. If you're interested in learning more about swales or their application in sustainable landscaping, feel free to ask for additional information or resources!
