Sometimes the pause becomes part of the harvest. 🌱 Small Shifts through the seasons.

You don't need to be an experienced permaculture designer to begin thinking like one.
That's increasingly what I want my Introduction to Permaculture to offer: not simply information about permaculture, but the opportunity to practise observing, connecting, questioning, experimenting and learning from what happens.
The course is now accompanied by an 83-page Reflection Journal, and together they've become a much more substantial learning experience than I'd originally envisaged. (Hooray for pumpkins. 🀣)
An Introduction to Permaculture is Β£25 and available through Living Lightly Worldwide.

I had been outside harvesting rosehips and then came in for a sit down. This wee critter started crawling down my leg πŸ˜† Anyone know what it is? I put him back with the roses

Harvest to plate in under 30 seconds 🌱πŸ₯—

Today's salad came mostly from a hanging basket just outside my kitchen door.

Growing food doesn't always need a vegetable garden, lots of space or even much effort. Sometimes good design is simply putting the things you use where they're easiest to reach.

What do you like best about growing some of your own food?

A simple drive through the countryside can become an exploration.

Today I've been out with my elderly parents, travelling through landscapes we've known for years β€” and still finding things worth noticing.

What catches your attention first?

The noise of the water? The shape of the land? Signs of the season? Or something completely different?

🌱 In Landscape Explorers, we're learning to look more closely at all the landscapes of our lives β€” and to share what we discover.

It's a free international community for families and young people from around 10+, particularly suited to home-educating families.

Come and explore with us. https://www.skool.com/landscape-explorers-5157/about?ref=b87ac06e920443d68e20e4c637e0bacf
