a permaculture principle. Oriole nest in banana tree in photo above.)
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

site plan gives you an overview of your location
and clarifies how the
elements in your landscape relate to each other for
greater efficiency and purpose.
