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!

Awesome idea, I come from far north MN. I haven't seen this yet. It looks like a great idea!
