I've just returned from a two week course with permaculturalist Janet Millington, where I received my Permaculture Design Certificate. It was an excellent experience and I'm full of information that will help when it comes time for RWBI to start some permaculture community gardens! Most importantly I made a number of valuable contacts with likeminded people who want to improve the soil, grow healthy food, and relocalise. I hope these contacts will develop into close friends.
