"I am a student in Toby Hemenway's Permaculture PDC in Portland. I thought that your presentation at our class was fantastic. I was totally and completely inspired. It drastically changed our site plan for the permaculture farm we are starting. This is my second PDC and I have been working as a permaculture designer for three years now and that is the first I had heard of much of your information! I hope to have the time to come down and take a class with you in the future."
