Permaculture Design Principles

We were able to sign up for the web content of the latest Winter Permaculture Design Course. Although we were not able to attend the full course we were given access to some amazing powerpoints, handouts and recorded discussion. Over-all it was awesome!

Everyone should look into Midwest Permaculture in Stelle, IL and get signed up for a Design Course.
