Attended the Permaculture Design Course in the fall of '07 -- loved it! I enjoy learning and sharing resources with others interested in sustainable living. I lived at the Urban Farm for 5 months a while back, and am now implementing permaculture practices into my own home and yard. In May '08, I produced the Green Living Conference, which was a sold-out event with over 300 attendants and 40 eco-friendly vendors. I also teach yoga and provide graphic design services.
Christy,
Good to hear from you...yeah, we are learning about it all. We are actually going to a class this Saturday in Mesa. The canning classes sound awesome..we are going to get to one of those once we get into a house and actually grow some stuf. LOL.

You are very welcome in regards to th...

In a way I think that's part of the fun of landscaping projects. They do take shape then we can keep tweeking the look. Our back yard is the same way. We got most of the hardscape in, got the lawn going good and planted the fruit trees but now am ...
Wow- I looked at your photos- what an amazing transformation! I am just at the beginning of that journey as I just closed on the house at the end of June. Would it be OK if I asked who you had remove the ash trees? I have a large i-don't-know-what...
I'm working on it, Chris. We don't have 100 SF just yet, but a reasonable sized plot for a family of three. We currently have sprouts and fairly well-developed parsley, cilantro, radishes, chives, lettuce, spinach, nasturtians, kale, potatoes, car...
