I’ve often joked at times, though I still believe the core idea to be true, that if you wanted to you could create a permaculture design that looks like a Victorian tea garden. Permaculture is, as Scott shared, different in all the places where it’s practiced as it spreads across the world. If you haven’t seen permaculture on the ground in a variety of contexts, it can be different from what we might imagine, especially as the techniques move away from the conditions in Australia that started the movement or the often discussed temperate climate food forest. I would like to encourage anyone who is able to travel and visit permaculture sites within their own bioregion and elsewhere, including Scott’s invitation to head to Costa Rica. And he's part of a Permaculture Design Course in Costa Rica from November 13th to the 26th, 202 at Finca Luna Nueva and Brave Earth Community Permaculture Design Course The design project he mentioned working on is Finca Luna Nueva Lodge. We also talk about the cultural and economic differences between Costa Rica and the United States, and adapting to our local conditions.įind Scott and his design work at.

Brave Earth (Tierra Valiente) is a living laboratory for regeneration. Blue Spirit is one of the foremost world-class yoga and meditation retreat centers in Costa Rica, providing an extraordinary setting to all who are dedicated to spiritual transformation, personal growth, and environmental sustainability.
