Permaculture Resources for Discussion and Education

04 March 2010

The pre-organized workshop sessions (in the morning before the afternoon's Open Space attendee directed sessions) at the upcoming Glossary Link Permaculture Gathering revolve around four topic areas. For those unable to make the event but interested in learning more, for accessing reading or educational resources, and for familiarizing yourself with these topics, here are a selection of websites the Alchemical community has found valuable that contain loads of free permaculture education and wisdom.
