This February 14th I will be teaching an extensive "Introduction to Permaculture" class to the new master gardeners students in our county, and anyone who desires to attend can come for free. The class is about 2 hours long and everyone who has attended this class before has given very positive feedback. If you're interested in learning all about what permaculture is, this is a great start.
If you're interested, tree mail me and I'll send you the details.
