Heart of Gaea Permaculture, Sustainability “Animals are the messengers of the tree, and trees the gardens of animals. Life depends upon life. All forces, all elements, all life forms are the biomass of the tree.” ― Bill Mollison February 2, 2019
Heart of Gaea Permaculture, Sustainability “We only invented the word organic because we made things inorganic. We only invented the word natural because we made things unnatural. We only invented the word permaculture because we made agriculture.” ― Khang Kijarro Nguyen February 1, 2019

Heart of Gaea Permaculture, Sustainability “A sacred way of life connects us to the people and places around us.

Heart of Gaea Permaculture, Sustainability “Of course, chaos can lead to failure and extinction. But so can order. Far more nations, people, and ideas die of atrophy than die from revolution. Both order and chaos are necessary ingredients for long run success – for sustainability.” ― John Ikerd January 24, 2019
