​
Scott Sigurdsen's lecture, "My Recovery from Permaculture" offers a reflection on his decade-long journey developing agricultural ecosystems on a 5-acre organic farm on the banks of Indian Creek. He shares the good, the bad and the ugly of permaculture, discussing both its transformative potential and its challenges as well as the ripple effects.
Since Scott and his partner Marisa Buccione abandoned their city jobs for a more fulfilling life here, they have evolved into community mentors and well respected leaders, open and collaborative in all they do. This lecture is a valuable resource for farmers and backyard gardeners alike, providing insights into sustainable practices and personal growth in the world of agriculture
