Hi everyone! I'm enrolled in the PDC course and trying to finish before December. I'm interested in what inspired others to start practicing permaculture and what keeps you motivated? What do you love about it or why do you do it?
I think I came to permaculture in the opposite way most people do - I had access to a small piece of farmland but no experience with plants, planting, gardening, farming or anything like that. I work in media! I just wanted to do something environmentally-friendly and self-sustaining with it. When I started reading about permaculture philosophy, it just clicked, and I was excited by the depth of thought. Plus I felt hope for the planet! So, the philosophy and framework is what motivated me to get started. There's so much to dig into and it seems like the principles can be infinitely explored.
