Attended the Fourth Annual Bay Area Regional Permaculture Convergence yesterday. I ended up seeing quite a few people I knew. My Aunt Margie gave a talk on her visit to Brazil where she attended the International Permaculture Convergence, a few people from my first Permaculture design course from back in 2003 were there...and a whole bunch of ( Read more... )
