Permaculture wisdom, organized and accessible

A guild is a community of plants, fungi, and animals that support each other through complementary functions. Like a natural ecosystem, each member plays a role.

The Three Sisters Example

  • Corn — Provides structure for climbing
  • Beans — Fix nitrogen, enrich the soil
  • Squash — Shade ground, suppress weeds

In permaculture design, guilds reduce maintenance, increase yields, and create resilience. The Oracle helps you build guilds tailored to your zone, space, and goals.
