permaculture

[Scott Pittman <scott@permaculture.org>]

sorry   Punta Mona is not a not a demonstration of permaculture but 
rather a botanical collection.  I have not heard good things from those 
who have chosen to intern there.

Rancho Matastal, on the other hand receives rave reviews from everyone 
who participates in their program.

Rancho Margot I have not heard of, so can't comment.

The permaculture institute has been hosting Permaculture Design courses 
in Costa Rica for the past 11 years.  This year we have completed a 
course at Longo Mai, a refugee village for Salvadorans, and indigenous 
groups,  they have a wonderful volunteer program.  We will be giving a 
course in Monte Verde this May - www.permaculture.org.
