PatternBaseCommunity & Marketplace
Permaculture works better when you learn from other growers. PatternBase gives you a guild marketplace, public garden profiles, and a community feed, so you can share what works, learn from others, and build on designs that are already proven in the field.
What's included
Guild marketplace
Browse and fork guild designs shared by other growers. Filter by climate zone, guild type, or species. Every design shows functional layers, companion relationships, and the grower's notes on what worked.
Public garden profiles
Share your garden journey with a public profile. Show your guilds, observations, and harvest data. Other growers can see what you're growing, where, and how it's going.
Follow growers
Follow gardeners whose work inspires you. Your feed surfaces their observations, new guild designs, and harvest updates, weighted by climate relevance so the most useful content rises to the top.
Appreciation system
Recognize designs and observations that helped you. The appreciation system highlights the most valuable contributions without turning the community into a popularity contest.
Why this matters
Most permaculture knowledge lives in books, PDC courses, and scattered forum posts. The designs that actually work in the field , the ones adapted to real climates and real soil, rarely get shared in a useful format.
PatternBase makes guild designs shareable, forkable, and searchable. When someone builds a guild that works in Zone 7b clay soil, anyone in similar conditions can find it, adapt it, and build on it. That's how a community of practice grows.
