An update on a design and installation I did four falls ago.—the last photo shows what the backyard looked like when I arrived. 🌿

THE GOVERNMENT IS NOT A BUSINESS.

because some people are confused about that.

It exists to "establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty"

Not to make $$.

Soil is a crucial part of life & especially food production. Learn about the components of soil & what it means for food production, water storage, & nutrient availability in tropical, dryland, & temperate climates. Restore soil & soul. Essential skills for survival in hard times, like NOW.

Want to attend an in-person course and get your #Permaculture Design Certificate? There’s two opportunities coming up—an intensive this summer for a 2 wk immersive & another weekend course starting this next fall in #portlandor #milwaukieor #pdx I’ll be making some guest teacher appearances!

🌱 All about:

> Ecological / permaculture design
> Food foresty
> Urban villages & interdependent community development
> Urban farming (chickens, bees, etc.)
> Grounded & place-based spirituality
> Nature experiences / crafting (for adults & kids)
> DIY & homesteading
> Holistic Health

Awesome! This larger scale food forest development, especially in areas that are historically drier, really captures the potential of permaculture to build resilient landscapes.

As an ecological designer, I feel pretty comfortable drawing out landscapes from a bird’s eye view—capturing plant and feature placements. I’m leaning into my growth edge and practicing other types of drawings, this one inspired from the back cover of “Practical Permaculture.”
