I'm at the Jordan permaculture project 'Greening the Desert,' and I've filmed a casual tour of the site and included a list of our plants below.
It's taken the team 10-years to get to where we are now and everyone is doing a fantastic job turning this arid desert land into a green oasis. Even in harsh climates and landscapes, we can provide examples of hope by design and education extension. ✌️
If you'd like to follow my work, I’d like to invite you to join “The Permaculture Circle” (TPC), a free and vibrant online community for anyone passionate about permaculture where I share many of my projects plus my curated collection of 100+ videos, animations, and PDFs http://start.geofflawtononline.com/permaculturecircle/
