Red face Permaculture, rain gardens, suburban forest gardens

Hi, I am interested in sustainable gardening, not just at the farm level, but at the suburban level. Permaculture is a way of changing your environment to include shade, food, natural pest control and a host of ecological functions. I've found a great site at Midwest Permaculture but wondered if there are any practitioners in this forum? I know that permaculture is a growing movement in Australia!

Also intrigued by information about rain gardens, which seems to be a big movement in the upper Midwest (Minnesota and Wisconsin) and also Pennsylvania. I have asked my local park if they can set up a demonstration garden, and they are interested. But can anyone else step up and testify?

Greetings from the garden!

A new post-industrial, post-imperial world is forming under our feet - a holistic reality to serve as a seed pattern for future generations. This new culture represents the "graduation" of the species to maturity and biological legitimacy; exemplified by miniature rural and urban communities that meet most human needs within their regions. These models of bioregional self-sufficiency arise from a tide of cultural creation that has been in motion for fifty years and centuries in some cases. Its basic pieces have already been road-tested over several millennia. Permaculture is one of several models which addresses the increasing destabilization of civilization.
