My mum was very happy to find Permaculture Magazine in her local WHSmith. And even more happy that it has an article from me based on my book 7 Ways to Think Differently. 7 ways is my response to what is permaculture? It was published 10 years ago!

If you aren't already a subscriber I do highly recommend it - then you get it direct to your door, and access to all back issues online.
