One of the ways I try to simplify my life is through gardening. On several levels this brings me closer to the earth and helps me value what is local versus seeking things far away from my home

Hi Perm Folks,
  For quite some time I have gentley slowly edged toward using some permaculture techniques in my own area.  The back yard is now all non-lawn. Slowly adding perrenials. To date we have apples, elderberry, comfrey, peach, plum, nanking cherry, raspberries and black raspberries. We collect the rainwater from our foof and have not used any city water for outside purposes for more than 4 years. The wildlife around our house has definitely increased. Also included some raised beds for veggies. Lots of productivity and no chemical fertilizers at all.
   I am also interested in any experiences about neighborhood outreach to talk about permaculture that folks have experienced.

Love to hear from folks
