Dear Permie Friends,
Please distribute and pass along the word of this PDC on Salt Spring
Island. I've known Brandon for nearly 10 years now and he and his wife
Pattie have created an amazing demonstration site of permaculture in
action in the southern Canadian Gulf Islands. This course has a great
line-up of experienced instructors at a beautiful venue.
