Example of a
Permaculture Design
Midwest Permaculture

"Permaculture looks at life squarely in the face and simply asks the questions;
What is?
How do things really work?
There are no sacred cows. Permaculture explores multiple ways that we as humans can create real abundance, security and health for ourselves and the natural world... while similtaneously leaving the planet in much better condition because we were here.
It is honest.
It is realistic.
It is powerful."
