permaculture

[Eric Kemp <erickemp01@yahoo.com>]

yes...ive been there......they have limited gardens going on...but what they 
have is good.....they have plenty of space......would be a great place to 
plant a forest garden.....their method of building is good in the since that 
it is simple to do.....but the materials all come from major industrial 
operations....unless you know of a simple way to produce 
concrete......beutiful design that is energy effecient and conductive to 
spending time with other folks......lots of art going on....they make bells 
and bronze statues.....the people were real cool......if you are thinking of 
stopping by ...I would definately say yes....blessings

Lots of concrete, bare dirt and beautiful, sparse Cedars of Lebanon.
Not enough greenhouse space, green farmspace and permanent notill gardens.
