permaculture

["Nan Bracewell" <NBRACEWELL@bham.rr.com>]

I am interested in knowing if there are any members of this list in the
Southeastern U.S.? I am in Birmingham, Alabama and would like a place nearby
to visit. I am aware of The Farm in Summertown, Tennessee, since we used to
live near there.
It would be an EXCELLENT field trip for our home-schooled children [my major
interest at present] and for the parents of these children who could get
some direction and goals from a permaculture establishment.

Enjoy!
Nancy

The surest way to corrupt a youth is to instruct him to hold in higher
esteem those who think alike than those who think differently.  -- Friedrich
