permaculture

["Lawrence F. London, Jr." <venaurafarm@bellsouth.net>]

Just a few initial thoughts to try and start a new discussion thread:

It would be worth using the best of both disciplines, especially for 
those who offer any kind of landscaping services, where does landscape 
architecture and related subfields end and permaculture begin or vice 
versa or how to combine the best of both to practice permaculture and 
eco-landscape architecture to the max. The disciplines are very 
different in obvious ways, i.e. certified, bondable industrial landscape 
plans and on the other hand permaculture designs to implement that work 
as well as their landscape counterpart in every way, especially being 
aesthetically pleasing and spiritually rewarding (Japanese landscapes, 
post-Colonial and Country Life Movement English cottage gardens).

For those offering services and are looking for substantial jobs for
clients who can afford them I would imagine there would be as many 
customers for permaculture site design and implementation as there would 
be for landscape design and installation. I hear from many 
permaculturists getting involved in the consultation and design field
that they have found many wealthy clients who invest in raw land and 
want to turn it into a permaculture demo site. The key phrase there is 
"permaculture demonstration site".
