"When you create an environment that works together, where different elements of the natural world can combine to create abundance - the planet benefits, everybody benefits" says Bill Wilson of Midwest Permaculture in Illinois.
His organization offers you a guided tour in your own backyard, to learn how to take the first steps toward creating a permaculture paradise.
Even if you don't intend to grow food, you can learn how to increase plant biodiversity, minimize water waste on the landscape, reduce run off and have a beautiful, low maintenance, fertilizer free green space that contributes to a thriving eco system.
The neighbors are welcome on this tour as well, because most of the ideas apply to their backyards too!
