There so much to say about permaculture! This is very much a sprout, a draft, in progress, trying to distill a lot of information into the essence.
Permaculture is working skillfully, creatively with what is present in our environment. Not wasting energy fighting the way elements are interacting (e.g. how and where plants are growing), but learning about how elements of our environment interact with one another and the root causes of these interactions.
