One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

spelunking (caving). This is something we should talk about in person! After college I hiked for 7 weeks on the Appalachian Trail in the US. I learned how to drive draft horses and make maple syrup in Vermont.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am a Permaculture teacher and give public presentations in Arizona. I can show you a Power Point presentation if you like! I give these talks regularly:
* You Can Have Your Landscape and Eat it Too!
* Creating Landscapes that Water Themselves with Rainwater and Greywater
* Rainwater Harvesting
