permaculture

[Neil Bertrando <neilbertrando@gmail.com>]

Hi Eric,

re: permaculture books in spanish, I think Eugenio Gras wrote a book on
this topic recently.  Perhaps Darren or someone else on the list knows
more, title, where to find it.  Just a thought, it might be worth bringing
a diversity of perspectives with you.  Let me know if you find this book
and the cost.

best of luck this sounds like a really exciting opportunity.
