"Permaculture seeks paradise...and why not?" - Bill Mollison

Thanks to a sponsorship from Growing Spaces Green Domes, two Garden Project folks attended the 2016 Four Corners Permaculture Convergence.

Mia Carrasco-Songer, the Garden Manager at the Ohana Kuleana Community Garden, is committed to making change by growing community and says that she finds hope for where our world is headed when learning about and practicing permaculture. Mia attended the 2015 Colorado Permaculture Convergence as well.
