Towards simplicity... permaculture in Maine

Since 2005, I have been converting landscapes using the permaculture design principles and ethics.  At the heart of my journey is the role of relationships in my environments, both built and cultivated.
The goals are simple grow food, fiber,& medicine, capture energy & water, and create habitats & community.
We have wrapped our lives in excess.  We have lost touch with how to satisfy our basic  needs in a sustainable way. a way that serves both humankind and nature.  So this is the jumping off point... the need to reskill ourselves and heal the soil beneath our feet.
So we take on projects in all areas... suburbia... rural... and urban.  Each time making observations, following nature, and sometimes experimenting.

So, I hope my posts are inspiring... and drive the viewer to challenge the ideas of what is progress.
