It took me a couple of days to really understand what they meant and how that translates into "urban" permaculture. It's not simply about gardening at all! We've forgotten how important it is to care and to be with and to relate to and meet and organize with our neighbors. As they so beautifully synthesized, permaculture does more than sustain, it restores! and what better to restore than our human spirits our social networks our COMMUNITY! beautiful! and thank you so much Anne for organizing such an enlightening event!
