While organic gardening is a great way to work in harmony with nature as we learn to garden and farm without chemicals, permaculture is all that and more. In fact, permaculture is becoming one of the hottest trending terms for those seeking to take their gardening and farming practices to the next earth-friendly level. In this episode, we meet Dr. Will Hooker, who teaches permaculture at North Carolina State University and demonstrates the practices in his own home garden. Then we head to Georgia to visit a community that is incorporating permaculture into their daily farming and gardening practices. This episode offers great take-away information to show some of the simple steps of permaculture while showing that you can still have function and beauty in such a garden.
