For me, the holistic and productive aspects have always been so rewarding, and the deep connection to the natural world and its systems, rather than my systems, feeds me in so many ways. I've been a permaculturist for nearly 20 years now, and there's always more to learn and explore.
I love the beauty, the abundance, the productivity, the mindset of permaculture. I love the fact that if you work with nature it will make growth and plant life exceed your expectations. I am in my second growing season on my property and it is almost embarrassing how lush and abundant the areas I put plants are. I love the fact that growing this way gives me the ability to share with others without ever going without myself.
So exciting! I’m just getting our ground ready for the first time. We brought in a truck load of compost/soil and a truck load of bark chips. Juuuust getting set up. I love that you’re only two years in and already feel rich and abundant. Very encouraging!
Encouraging words. Permaculture in the garden really does permeate into my life in general. My home and garden is in a dry shade forest in gulf islands BC. There are so many limitations here but I seem to find and establish “shared pockets “ of abundance amongst the growth that thrives here. Thank you.
Im still in the gardening part of permaculture but I also want to produce less waste and have less of a consumer life style (though I am still at the begining of that path) Honestly I love that I don't have to be worried about what kind of bug is in my yard if it is "helpful". I just let everything live and this is my 4th year of not spraying anything and pest and predator bugs are starting really even out in my yard. (Still having issues with spide mites) I really like the idea that you have a diverse crop and then if one thing fails other things can make up for it.
Pattern Recognition, how you move through the design and use the space, appreciate the extension of the yard as a space for living. How to observe to improve the space around you
Have never been really "introduced" to permaculture. As such, it's been more of an unquantifiable "thing" related to gardening and farming (at least for me and how the word even came into my life). I do appreciate your laying out the specifics of why you chose/still love to do it. Thank you!!
I didnt really know anything about permaculture until I came across your channel a couple of weeks ago. Im delighted that i found you! Now I've got to get myself to the library to read up on this. I'm planning on putting in a garden for herbs, dye plants, fruits, veggies, and flowers and im trying to figure out how best to start. That is, I don't want to have to move a tree the following year. I have so much to learn!
In fair share, I have two Asian pears with an overabundance of fruit. I've harvested what we can use, but would love to share the rest of the crop. Given what we have to can, dry and freeze from our garden, I don't have time to pick get the rest of the crop myself. How do I offer it to the community?
What we do is put an add on our buy nothing group, letting them know times available to come and harvest the fruit! We've made many friends this way, and expanded our networking because of it. Some folks love to trade, but we don't require it.
I'd like to add abundant perennial flowers for pollination and beauty to my food forest. I envision poultry running and foraging in the forest in a year or so and larger livestock foraging in the wilder silvapastures in Zone 3 and 4. I'm deeply concerned about accidentally planting poisonous plants like wisteria and forsythia, both of which I love. Is there a comprehensive list of safe and dangerous ornamentals somewhere? I have been thinking and planning permaculture since I was a Peace Corps volunteer in the late 80s. Now, I'm finally developing a property.
40 years ago I got hooked on gardening. Five years later I found Bill Mollison's writings.
A jungle garden has been my dream ever since.

Thank you Angela for your generosity! I’m new to permaculture, and I feel so supported by your channel! Cheers from the Hazelwood neighborhood!
Welcome!!
Thank you!

Your videos are inspiring and encouraging.

Great video Angela! I love the focus on small steady steps forward!
Such pretty light in your garden today

Well said!
Awesome reasons! Thanks for sharing!
