I'm currently an ironworker in Chicago, and live in Cedar Lake , IN. I've never done much gardening and always dreaded weeding and yard work in general. My love for nature and using it's lessons and energy at home and in my daily life in general, looks like the antidote I've been looking for.
I discovered permaculture through several books I've read lately about the end of growth (peak everything!), and ways we can change for the better.
I hope to learn more, and network with others so I can start living in a more sustainable way. I also hope to start a project in my yard this year.
