Workshop III: Introduction to Permaculture Design 

A new way to look at what you have on your land and how to maximize 
water, privacy, wind protection, biodiversity, shade creation, and a harvest

and clarifies how the elements in your landscape relate to each other for 
greater efficiency and purpose.
