Cincinnati Permaculture Institute Establishes Permanent Home & Hub in East Price Hill

For over a decade, Cincinnati Permaculture has operated as primarily a mobile permaculture design classroom and small-scale edible perennial nursery, using shared and borrowed spaces as we carried out our mission of permaculture education to support a resilient future. Our flagship permaculture design course visits 10 or more sites every year and gave rise to the Winter and Summer weekend courses, hosted by our local partners and teacher-farmers.

In the last few years, we’ve been discussing the benefits of having a more permanent home base that we can develop into an even more robust permaculture education resource for the Cincinnati region. It was an ambitious idea and we knew it would have to be the right kind of property and opportunity to make it worth the additional risks and liabilities that come with ownership.

Such an opportunity came our way in late 2025 and through a series of careful discussions and negotiations, a deal was reached that was too good to pass up on.

And so in March 2026, CPI assumed ownership of three properties on Enright Ave & 8th Street in East Price Hill. We’ve been connected to these sites for over a decade through relationships with our neighbors, including Enright Ecovillage, Urban Earth Farms and Tending Roots, and are proud and excited at the opportunity to steward them into the future. The sites include:

  • A mixed-use building at the corner of 8th and Enright, formerly a pub with an outdoor courtyard on the first floor and an unoccupied (at time of purchase) 1-bedroom apartment on the second floor, and unfinished space on the third floor

  • The site where Growing Value Nursery has been operating together with Urban Earth Farms (824 Enright Ave.) which includes a 100+ year old greenhouse, indoor retail and storage space, and the nursery lot

  • The “Icehouse Garden,” a formerly vacant lot between Enright and Terry St (corner of Price) that has been slowly transforming into a permaculture demonstration site/outdoor classroom and a potential community forage garden.

While we’ve been active at the nursery and icehouse sites for many years, the former pub & apartment represents a new asset and opportunity for us. Importantly to us and to our neighbors, the liquor license is no longer in the picture: our vision and intention is to use this building as a community gathering space, retail and resource space, and indoor classroom or event space. We hope to secure occupants for the upstairs rental unit while we transform the first level into a “hub” for urban permaculture — something that benefits and uplifts the entire neighborhood.

Some PEEKS AT what we’ve envisioned…

Permaculture Curb Appeal: The outdoor courtyard and green space offer an attractive potential storefront to sell plants and other products of our harvest. The visual appeal could be improved through perennial plantings and structures like trellises.

The fenced outdoor courtyard includes a covered patio and several square feet of greenspace that could be converted to raised beds and used for beehives, composting, and other permaculture activities.

A raised outdoor pavilion inspires ideas of live music, presentations and classes or summer evening potlucks.

New Challenges and Needs

With great opportunity comes great responsibility. All of the dreams we have for this property are grounded in the reality that time, materials, labor, and resources will need to be invested for any of these sites to reach their potential. Taking over their care has introduced new costs and a long to-do list for us as an organization that, to date, has been operating lean and small.

As of Spring 2026, we are actively collaborating with our neighbors, partners and community to determine the most viable path forward that lets us meet our financial obligations and sustain something special and unique to Cincinnati. If you are interested in getting engaged, there are several ways you could support us:

  • Make a financial donation to our capital fund

  • Make a donation of supplies or services from our wishlist

  • Contribute your time as a volunteer - keep an eye out for volunteer dates as we schedule them

  • Join the CPI Board to help guide the long-term plans and have a voice in decisions

We’ve put together a brief list of what is needed in terms of materials and labor at the site. Learn more about how to get involved and lend support at our Wishlist page.

Looking forward to a brilliant, resilient future

While we get our bearings on this new and exciting initiative, we couldn’t be happier, prouder, or more grateful to be granted the opportunity to truly put down roots in East Price Hill. The difference this will make to our teachers and students, to our nursery, and to our relationships with our neighbors and partners, gives us so much to look forward to.

To all who helped us get here, we owe our sincerest thanks. We can’t wait to invite you into our new home and see what we can grow here!

Which PDC is Right for You?

How do you choose a permaculture design course?

At Cincinnati Permaculture Institute, there are a few different ways you can complete a permaculture design course for certification. We’ve developed our courses to be highly locally focused, giving anyone in this region the opportunity to study permaculture as it is applied right in their backyard, without taking weeks off of work or traveling around the world.

No matter which one of our courses you choose, you are getting 80+ hours of instruction on the core principles and design methodologies of permaculture, as put forth by Bill Mollison and Dave Holmgren, and the opportunity to practice your new skills with a design project. Each cohort takes on its own character, influenced by the diversity of knowledge, experience and passion among our students. Our students come from a variety of backgrounds: Master Gardeners to never-gardeners, teachers and recent graduates, artists and writers, community organizers and faith leaders, engineers and inventors, herbalists and naturalists — every niche of the ecosystem!

CPI Yearlong Permaculture Design Course

The Yearlong Permaculture Design Course is our flagship course, spreading the permaculture curriculum across all four seasons with host sites spanning the region.

The class begins each fall in November with a full weekend of immersive introduction. We then skip December for the holidays and reconvene in the New Year for the deep dive. Each class introduces different topics and aspects of permaculture, matched to the features of the site that’s hosting us, from natural and ecological fundamentals to technical skills for designing around various landscape challenges.

The class is very experiential: you’ll get to touch, taste, smell, and listen as our site hosts take us on walking tours of their property, and introduce you to specialties like wildcrafting and fermentation, raising small animals, planning a market garden, or using solar and renewable energy (and so much more). In between classes, you’ll be sent videos, slides, articles and other resources to supplement your learning.

The Group Design Project is a central feature and a requirement for certification. By the midway point, we’ll have worked together as a group to nominate a handful of local properties that would be well suited to a permaculture design, and divided into small groups to begin collaborating on each site. Time is provided in class for design groups to meet and work on their projects, and some work is completed outside of class too, all culminating in a presentation on the final day.

Helpful to know: Unless weather is extreme, we typically hold class rain or shine. The sites we visit feature a variety of terrain and facilities, and usually at least one hour of class is spent on foot or walking. Many are private homes that may lack accessibility features such as ramps and restrooms. Some are fairly remote and have us driving or parking on gravel and grass. If you have concerns about mobility, hearing, transportation, or any other accessibility needs, please reach out to us for a discussion of how we might be able to accommodate you.

cpi SEASONAL permaculture intensives

CPI has been offering two shorter seasonal courses, one in the winter and one in the summer. We say shorter, BUT - it’s the same 80 hours of material, condensed into just a few weekends of the year.

The Winter Weekend PDC takes place over 5 weekends spanning February to March. Host sites include Treasure Lake in Northern Kentucky (lead teacher: Doug Crouch of TreeYo Permaculture) and Ande the Elf’s homestead in SE Indiana (lead teacher: Ande Schewe). Classes convene on Saturday and Sunday each weekend, for 7 hours of in-person instruction, supplemented by online recorded lectures and reading. Students complete a design project using the host site as their testing ground.

The Summer Weekend PDC is even shorter, at 3 consecutive weekends, and has a hybrid format: Friday evening online lectures followed by Saturday and Sunday onsite. This class is offered in July and hosted at Nightingale Montessori, with visits to nearby sites like Agraria and Antioch Farm. (Course was previously hosted at Antioch Farm.) This includes instruction from a CPI lead teacher and on-site instructors and guests. The summer course is our most “quick launch” format yet, great for K-12 (and beyond!) teachers on summer break who want to incorporate more natural science and sustainability into their classrooms.

What’s Different, What’s the Same?

A key difference between the Yearlong and Intensive courses is how much time you are given to work on and complete your design project. In the yearlong course, students spend 6-7 months with their design site - observing, researching, consulting with the site owner, visiting and taking photos, and seeing how conditions change through the year. In the intensives, projects are wrapped up in a few weeks - but, you’ll be at the design site for every class, which can be an advantage.

The amount of travel you have to do is similarly spread out for the yearlong, and condensed in the intensives. Because these classes are so experiential, it’s difficult to make up any lost time outside of class, so you’ll want to choose the format that best aligns with your availability to attend!

What they have in common is the access to CPI’s network of practicing permaculturists, our online library of resources, and our edible perennial nursery in Price Hill, Cincinnati — benefits that you retain long after graduation! As much as we try to fit into them, our courses serve as an introduction to begin your permaculture journey, equipping you with the right skills to start off strong.

Our hope is that you come away not only with the ethical, connective principles that govern permaculture design, and the ability to get from ideas to implementations, but maybe some inspiration about what your niche in the ecosystem will be. A gardener? A farmer? An educator? An advocate? An innovator? A healer? Under the umbrella of Earth Care, People Care, and Fair Share are dozens and dozens of specialty disciplines that, connected together, create a resilient permanent culture.

Financial Assistance

If tuition is a barrier, please reach out to us. Payment plans are available, and we can sometimes offer a work-trade agreement for reduced tuition.

There are many free resources to learn permaculture online and remotely. What you’ll get from CPI’s classes, that you won’t from those, is the hyper-local focus on the Cincinnati and Great Lakes region. This is permaculture for your backyard.

  • From the Earth Care perspective, we’re digging into local soils, plants, and wildlife, working with local weather patterns, and connecting you to local resources for soil testing, compost, and plants. This is knowledge you’ll be able to take home and apply immediately.

  • From the People Care perspective, our roster of local teachers, authors and presenters runs deep, and we’re always speaking to new subject matter experts on how to incorporate their wisdom into the curriculum. You won’t find a better way to kick-start your networking, meet like-minded and passionate people, and dig in to where the ecological work is happening in Cincinnati.

  • From the Fair Share perspective, we strive to keep our course costs down while also fairly compensating our generous contributors, many of whom welcome 15+ strangers into their private homes for an entire day every year. As a traveling classroom, we are grateful for the privilege of such a diverse network of local permaculture demonstration sites to showcase in our class — as well as the locally sourced organic produce and meals our hosts often provide!

We are also constantly collecting and reviewing feedback during and after every class to make improvements as we go, all to give you the most value possible out of your tuition investment.

THINKING ABOUT IT?

Enrollment typically opens 3-4 months ahead of the class start date. If you’re on the fence or would like to hear more before deciding, reach out us by phone or email. We’d be happy to put you in touch with some of our alumni or any of our teachers to get your questions answered.

Howard Zuefle: Nurseryman, Yogi, Linchpin

Since coming to serve as Nursery Manager at Growing Value Nursery, Howard “Howie” Zuefle has proved himself to be invaluable to Cincinnati Permaculture Institute on so many levels: teacher, nursery manager, advisor, designer, installer, consultant, guide, friend. He wears these hats as easily as he wears his winning smile. He says he owes it all to his basic desire to eat well. Wild forage of food and organic growing of food are among his many passions and pathways to that end. 

His knowledge and experience, combined with his community network in East Price Hill, and other Cincinnati neighborhoods, made him the likely force with both the “Seeds of Change” and the “Boots on the Ground” programs, funded by grants we received in 2024-25. He rather single-handedly consulted, designed, selected, instructed, and installed alongside more than a dozen of our 27 Food Champions at their sites.

All while he was creating and managing the perennial edible nursery stock at CPIs Growing Value Nursery. He takes skillful care of our plants, the high quality of which continues to be praised by GVN customers.


More on Howard Zuefle in his own words:

Howard has been on his journey to find a way of living that integrates our human role in our local ecology for a good while now.  For him it took a car accident to motivate him to look beyond the quick fixes mainstream culture throws at us.  

The journey started in studying neuroscience and psychology at University of Cincinnati.  Then a clear need to be outside took the steering wheel, which brought an internship at the Civic Garden Center, a Permaculture Design Course with CPI, Foraging Mentors, Farming Mentors, and the rich Earth centered community of Cincinnati into his life.  

That was all on the going towards the connection with nature outside of himself part; there was also a coming into his own nature side of the journey by integrating the experience, which has involved embodiment practices, somatic experiencing, yoga, grounding/earthing, and learning to stay with the uncomfortable parts of living.

Finding local food, water, and the community that it takes to allow those to happen has been another major variable on the journey.  When one finds real food and the nourishing feeling that accompanies it there is no going back.

Howard is always looking to do Permaculture consultations, Botanical surveys, Nature Education, lead Foraging excursions and support others on their journey to a harmonious way of living. You can email him at HowGround@proton.me.

Calling All Permaculture Designers: Help Us Relieve a Design Bottleneck

In 2025, Cincinnati Permaculture Institute was introduced to and began a friendly partnership with another local organization with a complementary mission to our own: Food Not Lawns, a mutual aid group with a permaculture foundation. Both organizations envision a more resilient future in which food consumers become food producers, and grow food (and other essential lifestyle staples) in a way that is beneficial for the Earth we all rely on. A better, more sustainable way of life that we believe is entirely possible and within our power to create.

The good news: there is a growing awareness of and demand for sustainable, edible landscaping & environmental design in and around Cincinnati, and between our two organizations (and other mutual partners), we have a potentially huge community of willing hands and hearts who could be planting food forests all over the city and surrounding counties.

The issue? We have a bottleneck.

Lots of sites to design for, lots of volunteers ready to implement and maintain, but for the time being, only a handful of trained permaculturists currently engaged in the work to get us from Idea to Execution. It’s preventing us from taking on more than a project or two at a time and building momentum.

That’s where you come in… we hope!

CPI has graduated more than 350 permaculture designers in the last 15+ years, and we just know that the skills to solve this bottleneck are out there, right in our backyard. Skills like:

  • Creating basemaps and using design software

  • Assessing the water, sun, slope, soil, and other key landscape features to inform design

  • Plant selection and companion/guild planting for a food forest or edible garden

  • Planning phases of implementation

Think small scale residential yard upgrade, not whole-site comprehensive design or large undeveloped sites, and you’ll have a sense of the scope of work.

What’s that…you don’t think you can do it? You’re not experienced enough? Not a pro? Out of practice?

Well, there’s no cure for Impostor Syndrome like proof, and projects like these are a great way to gain experience and put a few more designs under your belt until that “I can’t…” voice in your head is replaced with “I did!” Whether you’re a recent PDC graduate or it’s been a few seasons since your class design project, you’re qualified to do this!

Our teacher Felix Marisa has been laying the groundwork for collaboration between CPI and Food Not Lawns, using a “design jam” model for collaborative design that anyone can replicate, and would be available to help coach and facilitate any designers wanting to get involved.

Food Champions of Cincinnati: Mary Dudley

In 2024, CPI received a generous grant award from the City of Cincinnati's Boots on the Ground program and set about growing and nurturing ten “Food Champions" around the west side of the city. This year, we are inviting our Food Champs to share their stories. In this article we’d like to introduce you to Mary Dudley.

Mary is a pivotal person in the CPI Food Champions stories. Her tireless efforts weaving community through gardening has brought more connections than we can count. She tells her own story below…

Mary on the back porch of her Westwood home near Mt Airy Forest

I am a seeds & soil kinda gal.

I find my fondest moments are those when I am filled to the brim with excitement as I prepare soil for a new garden bed, stirring the black compost with soft brown peat. Since my daily schedule is unpredictable, the time to fill and seed these freshly churned beds occasionally falls under a shining moon and I go to bed soil streaked and hoping for a gentle rain to awaken the sleeping seeds. Once the seeds germinate and put on new growth, I nurture them with trellising structures compiled from unused items pieced together with love and twine. My passion is for the resilience of the plants who boldly root themselves and make life blossom in the face of rain, wind, drought and heat, fending off pressures from herbivores along the way. I love sharing my plant fascination with others and working together to protect the fertile spaces of our community for many generations to come. 

My current volunteer work through the nonprofit Westwood Grows (started in 2022 in an effort to support public gardens in the Westwood neighborhood of Cincinnati) focuses on celebrating neighbors who plant native gardens, cultivating community through seed and plant swaps, and empowering those who sustain existing food forest installations in the community with tools and education.

While a bountiful harvest of fresh produce is desired, the real value lies in the daily interactions I have with neighbors turned friends in the form of compost conversations, texts with fuzzy pictures and questions of identification, smiles shared from snacking in the garden, and friendly honks from drivers who wave their gratitude as we pull up weeds along the road. It is through these relationships I am the most nourished.

Implementation Follow-Up: Nora & David, 2024

In 2024, CPI selected one of the final designs from the year’s permaculture design course as a candidate for implementation. That site belonged to then-students, now-grads Nora & David of Florence, KY. This spring, we asked for an update on their site and anything they have learned.

What they shared was that they were faced with unexpected setbacks, in the forms of life-changing losses and health events, that changed the trajectory of their permaculture dreams. Though time spent in the garden was limited, there were still lessons learned, which Nora shared with us by email in March:

“Things have settled down a little since this January and we've been able to assess the needs of our plantings. Most of everything survived and all sorts of valuable lessons learned which, for the sake of brevity, I will list:

  • Accepting our limitations... circumstances and physical challenges caused us to re-evaluate what we could actually do.

  • Adjust and overcome: move EVERYTHING closer to the house and a water source. Incorporating edible bushes and plants into my already existing flower beds.  (There was a mental block all these years in my head from doing this. hahaha. BUT, I'm not alone in thinking this way.)

  • Water access is a BIG DEAL. 

    • Having just one hose to reach everywhere was a little challenging.

    • I put several barrels around our back shed and was quite impressed with how much water was able to be collected! But... in the dead of summer, a 55 gallon barrel was only enough for 1 bed!

  • Wood chips and deep mulch REALLY helped.  I'm convinced that this is what kept most of our plants alive when we couldn't get around to watering.

  • The raised beds that we installed around some old locust trees created a problem.  We underestimated how even mostly dead locust stumps would send up all sorts of thorny little branches!!!!!  I have begun to move plants from the raised beds to other locations, pulling back soil and cut off those branches.  I plan on burning the stumps to avoid using chemicals to kill them. Once I can be certain that this has fixed the problem, I will probably reinstall raised beds, but use something like metal raised beds.

  • Deer pressure was unrelenting... even in the suburbs.  I used netting around several bushes and trees and they still somehow were able to reach through and nip some down!  Taking extra steps to protect everything including Irish spring soap and "Scram" (blood meal).

  • Making low cost fertilizer without the typical manures. This has become something I've given a lot of thought to.  I don't trust buying manure from unknown sources due to what cows and horses are eating these days (Graze-On herbicide can be ingested by these animals and pass right through to their manure!).  I'm also not allowed to keep chickens in Florence. While I do purchase some organic fertilizers, this can get expensive.  So, I've focused on comfrey tea as well as fermenting other plant material (inspired by JADAM - a low-cost sustainable organic farming method that originated in Korea).  I've also started growing cover crops like clover and daikon radish.

“I am so grateful to CPI and all those who came out to help,” Nora adds - and we’re thankful to her for sharing her lessons learned this first year post-implementation.

Food Champions of Cincinnati: Nate Hale

In 2024, CPI received a generous grant award from the City of Cincinnati's Boots on the Ground program and set about growing “Food Champions" around the west side of the city. By working with leadership already present in these neighborhoods, we were able to assist in launching ten inspiring projects, each one unique to the group of individuals who conceived and orchestrated it. These folks brought their vision, goals, friends, volunteers and hard work, and CPI helped guide and finance to establish significant food production. This year, we are inviting our Food Champs to share their stories.

Nate Hale, in his own words…

I want to thank the folks at CPI so much for the support over the past year. The fruit-producing trees and shrubs you provided were of exceptional quality, and the planting event, where we added over 20 trees to our growing orchard, was truly inspiring. 

My family and I have immense gratitude for the opportunity to live on and steward this land. We've been transitioning large parts of it from a landscape dominated by a few opportunistic species to a more diverse and balanced ecosystem and incorporating food producing plants. 

Our hope is that this space will continue to become a place for sharing, learning, and building community. My background in production agriculture has instilled in me the importance of integrating annual and perennial food production for a sustainable future. For the past several seasons we have been working on the first phase of the design - to establish a productive market garden where we produce annual and perennial fruit and vegetable, and enact practices to improve overall soil health. 

The recent planting of orchard trees marks a significant step in realizing our vision for a larger orchard as a part of the whole site design. We're also implementing water management techniques, planting nut trees, and reintroducing native species. 

I am incredibly grateful for this partnership in helping us realize this vision and move towards a more resilient way of living and working with the land. I am excited to see how our partnership evolves in the coming years. Food is a beautiful and inspiring aspect of life, and I am grateful for the opportunity to interact with it in this way. 

Food Champions of Cincinnati: Ellie Suggs' Story

In 2024, CPI received a generous grant award from the City of Cincinnati's Boots on the Ground program and set about growing “Food Champions" around the west side of the city.

Ellie Suggs

In her own words…

I’ve lived in Cincinnati my whole life - when I was born my family lived in Cheviot, and we’ve always identified as proud West Siders, so taking the job as Director of Agriculture at Cincinnati Urban Promise (CUP) in Westwood felt like coming full circle!

My overarching interests are in human food security and ecological restoration, so I have loved learning about permaculture’s applications in edible landscapes through CPI!

My journey with growing started in college, where I majored in Biology and researched population genetics of native plants to support the habitat restoration efforts of Great Parks. Since then, I’ve shifted my efforts to focus more directly on making food and outdoor education more accessible to urban areas.

At CUP, my job is to provide local preK-12th grade students with agricultural and conservation education so they can grow up to be food-independent residents who care about the ecological wellbeing of our city. To aid in this, we are striving to create an almost entirely edible landscape on our property, with plantings of native perennials and annual vegetables along with some pollinator plantings for education (and aesthetics!).

When I saw Susan VonderHaar’s gardens at Dater Montessori, I just knew I needed to collaborate with her! Sure enough, CPI has been an invaluable partner thus far as CUP now has a fruit tree orchard and berry patch where we used to have lawn and weeds. We are so excited to see what the rest of 2025 brings!
