Permaculture:

Permaculture is a set of design principles centered on whole systems thinking, simulating, or directly utilizing the patterns and resilient features observed in natural ecosystems. This webinar will provide an introduction to permaculture and its principles with time to ask your own questions or share ideas.

Michael Schimp will dispel the myths, and help us better understand what all the hype is about. Most importantly he explains the benefit to us, our growing crops, and the planet, when following a permaculture lifestyle.
