The Design Process
![Page 9: Garden for the Environment Urban Backyard Karen, Keith, Meghan, Nathan, Stacey](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022013011/56649dd45503460f94acc9f7/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

Surveying as Input to the Design Process
• We wanted to see what people wanted out of the GFE, or what they liked about it
• We’re designing a model permaculture backyard, but we’d like to design it in a way that our visitors would still like to visit
• A traditional charette wouldn’t work because people probably wouldn’t come - they are only visitors
![Page 12: Garden for the Environment Urban Backyard Karen, Keith, Meghan, Nathan, Stacey](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022013011/56649dd45503460f94acc9f7/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Surveying as Input to the Design Process
• (pass around copies of survey)
• We wrote a survey; online
• We will use this feedback to modify our design if necessary, and to decide on plant selection
![Page 13: Garden for the Environment Urban Backyard Karen, Keith, Meghan, Nathan, Stacey](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022013011/56649dd45503460f94acc9f7/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
The Permaculture Ethics’ Influence on the Design
• People Care– This garden should be a space for people– The garden should educate people about the earth
• Earth Care– Educating people about the earth may encourage
them to start caring for the earth more
• Fair Share– The garden is for the community
