If I look at permaculture gardening through the lens of game design, we can gain some interesting insight. We interact with non-human systems through verbs - the actions we apply to the system, of which the system responds to. What are the verbs of gardening?

Obvious answers would be:

  • Dig
  • Plant
  • Water
  • Harvest
  • Prune

But what about permaculture specific verbs? And can we uncover some insight by highlighting those differences?:

  • Design
  • Study
  • Understand

These may be a bit pretentious to suggest on a whim, but I'm curious to see if this has any merit.
