I love permaculture books and resources. I have a huge library at home on a diverse range of topics and I am often referring to them inspiration and technical details. I always carry as many as I can to workshops to share with people too. Below I’ve included a list of some of my favourites, but there are so many more (perhaps a future post).
Our Permaculture Life Blog – 400 articles
Don’t forget you can search in my blog, Our Permaculture Life for information about particular topics. There are over 400 articles in here now and I am open to you sending me new topics to write about. Email me at morag@ourpermaculturelife.com with the subject [blog suggestion].
Our Permaculture Life Youtube Channel
Did you know you can also search for topics in my Youtube Channel, Our Permaculture Life . I have over 70 short clips about a whole range of permaculture topics. Again, I am open to you sending me new topics to write about. Email me at morag@ourpermaculturelife.com with the subject [Youtube suggestion].
