Started in 2008, KPG, became a registered nonprofit in August of 2015 exercising under the Appalachian Community Fund as a fiscal sponsor. KPG is operated by a director and KPG Consultants, who act as an Advisory Council to establish the focus, goals, and vision of the KPG.
Consultants hold a Permaculture Design Certificate from a 72 hour
permaculture course and usually have training, volunteer experience, or
life experience beyond the PDC coursework.
We are a service oriented group with the main service being focused in low or mixed income areas or for groups that serve clients of low and mixed income. KPG Consultants develop a permaculture design, lead a permablitz, and educate recipients on care of the permaculture landscape. Recipients receive a perennial edible landscape, a design map, and education on the maintenance of the landscape. The permablitz is also a time for
Friends
, supporters, and interested people to assist in planting the landscape and learn about permaculture from a KPG Consultant.
