EWU Garden Site Plan
The purpose of this powerpoint is to assist
in identification and development of critical
design issues, contexts, and alternativedesigns for the site.
Please review and comment on all stages
of design. The working group (Monday
mornings) will develop more detailed plans
and designs, along with Lauri, Robin and
Dick as support.

All gardeners should walk
the site and experience the
land and features of this
space. Then come up with
your site assessment and
design alternatives.

EWU Sustainable Garden Design
and Operation Permaculture is an approach to designinghuman settlements and agriculturalsystems that are modeled on therelationships found in natural ecologies.
Permaculture is sustainable land usedesign. This is based on ecological andbiological principles, often using patternsthat occur in nature to maximise effect and
minimise work. Permaculture aims to create stable,
productive systems that provide for humanneeds, harmoniously integrating the land
with its inhabitants. The ecological

Permaculture as a context for
Sustainable Garden Design and
Operation (Continued) Elements in a system are viewed inrelationship to other elements, where theoutputs of one element become the inputs
of another. Within a Permaculture system,work is minimised, "wastes" becomeresources, productivity and yieldsincrease, and environments are restored.
Permaculture principles can be applied toany environment, at any scale from denseurban settlements to individual homes,
from farms to entire regions.

Process for
Permaculture Design Modern permaculture is a system design tool.It is a way of:
looking at a whole system or problem;
observing how the parts relate; planning to mend sick systems by applying
ideas learned from long-term sustainableworking systems;
seeing connections between key parts.(This Garden Design will follow these 4
steps)
In permaculture, practitioners learn from the
working systems of nature to plan to fix thedama ed landsca es of human a ricultural

Permaculture Core Values Permaculture is a broad-based and holistic approach that has
many applications to all aspects of life. At the heart ofpermaculture design and practice is a fundamental set of corevalues orethics which remain constant whatever a person'ssituation, whether they are creating systems for town planningor trade; whether the land they care for is only a windowbox oran entire forest. These 'ethics' are often summarized as;
Earthcare recognising that Earth is the source of all life(and is possibly itself a living entity see Gaia theory), thatEarth is our valuable home, and that we are a part of Earth,not apart from it. Agriculturalists traditionally exploit soil,plants and animals so intensely that serious internal (e.g.diseases, soil erosion, decrease of production through theyears) as well as external problems (e.g. pollution fromfertilizers, human diseases originating from farm factories)occur. Permaculturalists have introduced new ways ofpracticing agriculture, based on moderate yet problem-freerates of production. These ways are fundamental in restoring
a mutually beneficial (and healthy) relationship betweenpeople and the environmental factors indispensable to their

Garden Design: Basic Process
Following planning and landscape designprocesses, the purpose of initial design is toexplore the site, identify issues or designconcerns, and develop alternatives (Phase I).This should include basic desires for facilities,activities, structures, etc. on the site, andidentification of all uses. It should also includea rough materials list and cost estimate.
Phase II is more detailed design includingspecific location of elements, plants lists,watering, composting, and all other activities.It includes final selection of materials,supplies, and equipment, along with specificdesign and location of facilities.

Permaculture Design Issues:
Looking at the Whole Process. Sustainable Design
Incorporate native plants into gardens
Minimize water useage Drip irrigation for beds, other site elements
where possible
Collect and reuse rainwater
Composting linked to EWU student and
campus water materials

Permaculture Design Issues:
Observing How the Parts Relate
Buffer from community housing to the
immediate north and west of the site
Appropriate fencings Create and maintain attractive site
Invite participation by neighbors
Minimize or use no parking (access site by
foot from other campus facilities)
Take advantage of south facing slope and
site
Take advantage of adjoining EWU building

1. Programming is the identification ofactivities, elements, spaces, structures,
facilities needed for the garden design. Itis often a list of activities or wish list of
things in the garden.

Garden Elements, Activities and
Features of the Garden
The following is a list of short and long-term activities, facilities, structures andconsiderations for the design.
Raised beds for vegetable and related studentgarden plots (20-30 beds, wood framed 8 by4, 12 inch rectangular boards).
A fence (woodennot chain link) to protect
beds from grazing animals. A system of drip irrigation to serve each bed.
Initially this can be linked by hose. Long-termdesign for water access and use with timers
to be designed.

Garden Elements, Activities andFeatures of the Garden
Access to the site (upper site) from
Washington Court and from Lower (SE
corner) area off Elm Street.
Pebble or appropriate walkways
associated with natural access.
Access from Washington Court side to

to beds/fenced area.

Garden Elements, Activities andFeatures of the Garden
Entry from Washington Court into the
Native Plants garden (major focus on SW
corner of site in native plantings (tentative
)).
Native Plants incorporated into all site
design for low water use and
maintenance, and educationalopportunities about native vegetation.
Native Plants as decorative and garden
elements of the site.

EWU Garden Site Plan: Stahl
House SiteThe original site for the EWU Garden is former
residential lot at the north edge of campus. The
original home did not have a full basement, and
once the foundation was removed, dirt on the site
was used to fill in the daylight basement. A Soils
Test is needed for the site.

UPDATE FROM SHAWN KING. 3/5/11.
The Project Manager on the Stahl House demolition
provided this information on the site
1. Since the basement was only a daylight there wasenough soil on site to grade the site as it is. No soil was
imported to the site. That being said we did not do any
soil analysis of the existing site.
2. The sanitary sewer is still located into the middle
of the site. It is deep and probably will not interfere withyour plans. It is capped underground. When a one-call
locate is done at the beginning of your project that line
will be marked.
3. Currently the on-site water is not connected to the
city water main. We decided to leave this work until this

Complete soils testing for site.
Identify water and sewer connections.
Develop short-term designs for wateraccess from current taps (upper and lower
areas) to serve beds and gardens.
Design water (drip irrigation) and/or hosespigots to beds.
Design beds and materials, including soils.

Garden Design Alternatives
Please develop more detailed designs. Wewill eventually get large size maps for moredetailed site analysis and planning.
Print copies of these maps and develop yourown site analysis features and alternativedesigns for the garden.
Working Group this week can fill in the ppt
blanks and develop more detail. Those who have not walked the site should
go out with the map and make notes on theirmap.
