Planting the Rain to Grow Abundance | Brad Lancaster
<https://www.facebook.com/brad.lancaster.927> | TEDxTucson/Celebrating the
RAIN with joyous Abundance/and the famous MR Phiri
Brad shares the inspiring story of how he and others learned to see the rain
differently, enabling them—and you—to plant it, rather than drain it;
resulting in the growth of vibrant irrigation-free oases throughout
communities in drought years, which act as absorbent sponges solving flooding
in wet years, and the regeneration of our neighborhoods and larger world in
all years.
Brad talks about the famous MR Zephaniah Phiri of Zimbabwe and the Water
Harvesting inspiring and learning Brad brought back to Tucson

<http://www.harvestingrainwater.com/>, and co-founder of
www.DesertHarvesters.org.

Brad is also a regenerative systems educator(Permaculture), designer, and
consultant. In the Sonoran Desert, with just 11 inches of annual rainfall, he
and his brother harvest about 100,000 gallons of rainwater a year on an
eighth-acre urban lot and adjoining right-of-way. This harvested water is
then turned into living air conditioners of food-bearing shade trees,
abundant gardens, and a thriving landscape incorporating wildlife habitat,
beauty, medicinal plants, and more.
The goal of his book series and overall work is to empower his clients and
community to make positive change in their own lives and neighborhoods—by
harvesting and enhancing free on-site resources such as water, sun, wind,
shade, community, and more. It’s catching on, as evidenced by tens of
thousands of practitioners and demand for Brad’s work around the world.
