WOW! i really can't believe i'm talkin' to you. yes, i'm attending a Permaculture Design Cert. course this fall. and i can't wait. we're hoping use what we learn to stimulate the imagination of many here in Abilene. our 3+ acres here isn't much but i'm really inspired by the <i>greening the desert</i> project. i think we can actually go a long way toward changing a whole community with just this little piece of land and some hard work. thanks for your response keep up the good work!
