Ep. 141 - Armagarden - Regenerative Community Design, with Lindsay Brandon

Lindsay Brandon, CEO and Permaculture Consultant at Permaculture Canada joins me to share about Armagarden, her new project to integrate community design into the permaculture design.We discuss Armagarden and how it contrasts with the usual permaculture design. From the website:What is Armagarden?Armagarden was born from the desire to get back to the land and live a lifestyle that is connected to family, place and community. Through strategic design methods considerations are made through the design process towards food/water security, community resource management, and holistic design from a community perspective. With the recent increase in people desiring a homesteading lifestyle many realise that self-reliance is best when combined with the skills of their community. That we are stronger, more resilient, and can accomplish much more when we pool our resources, talents and skills together.The community resilience is created with elements including food production, on-site (off-grid) energy production, infrastructure for community events, educational courses and sustainable construction and energy efficiency practices for all buildings.Episode website: Ep. 141 - Armagarden - Regenerative Community Design, with Lindsay BrandonSponsors:Grow Nut Trees - Chestnuts, hazelnuts, pecans, elderberry - all adapted to the Midwest.
