As people become urbanised, they start looking at the world in urban ways. What does that car or house say about that person? How does that person&#8217;s occupation affect their social standing? People may not admit it, but they understand the answers to these questions intuitively. As permaculturalists, we need to apply [...]]]></description>

At time of writing the Learn Grow project has created comprehensive plant list info for the following regions:

In addition, the site has two disks available that should be of direct interest to Australian permaculturists:
