The Nourisher - Editor’s Blog

“We’re only truly secure when we can look out our kitchen window and see our food growing and our friends working nearby.”

Bill Mollison, co-founder of Permaculture

So often we hear the same story. The same desires from people of all ages and backgrounds. “We’re looking for some land to share….” It’s like a mass exodus back to the earth. While our ‘dominant’ culture seems to be opposing the idea and encouraging us to work more and consume more, we are just not falling for it anymore.

There’s hope for those of us who, for whatever reason, find ourselves stuck in the city. We can build a permaculture garden/community right in our back yard. Check out The Urban Permaculture Guild. It looks like so much fun.
