Scythe
Connection
We are not an
"organization", although
we co-organize some events and
learning processes, and have
conducted and motivated scythe-related
research and design development.
For lack of a better term to
accurately describe our work,
we use "network" to
describe a very loosely-structured,
ever-changing web of learning
and working relationships. Far
more of these are with people
in Europe than in North America,
some dating back to my first
journey to Austria (Jan./Feb.
1999). We may work intensively
with representatives of one
or more institutions for several
months while organizing an event;
then our connections sometimes
fade and new ones are born.
Of all those contacts, only
a few have remained steady and
reliable. A percentage of them,
however, can only be maintained
by periodic visits in person,
because some of the people do
not have computers, or don't
write letters. Overall, the
telephone has been by far the
most useful means of keeping
the energy moving (learning
of new developments, getting
more people involved and sharing
useful information).

En 1993, un groupe
d’étudiants et
un propriétaire de ferme,
en l’occurrence Bernard
Alonso, ont été
fascinés par le concept
de permaculture de Bill Mollison.
Le groupe voulait expérimenter
les principes de la «
permaculture » inspirés
par celui-ci et qui s’harmonisaient
si bien avec l’environnement.
À ce moment, Stewart
Hill, du Collège Macdonald
de l’Université
McGill, avait mentionné
une formation en Colombie-Britannique
pour les intéressés.
Le coût de l’opération
étant trop élevé,
le groupe décide de démarrer
un organisme à but non

professeur de la Colombie-Britannique
de venir donner la formation
au Québec.

West Bulb Farm is
a part–time project (really,
a hobby that is out of control)
owned and run by Nancy and Ames
Gilbert. Many years ago, we had
a complete–line California
Native Plant Nursery, but were
unable to make a reasonable return
on our investment of time, money
and energy. This meant getting
"regular" jobs (Nancy
is the landscape architect at
a local Air Force base, and Ames
is his own boss, making electrical
assemblies). So, we scaled back
to just one deep interest, Native
Bulbs. They have a great advantage,
they don't need constant summer
watering!

Permaculture
Across Borders came about
as a result of conversations at
Permaculture Design Certificate
courses in the USA and Australia.
A foundation was envisioned that
would build upon local knowledge
by supporting community-based
education sites, and that would
also connect communities, cities
and regions to each other.
Today
our Board and Advisory Board
members live and work across
the world, from Australia to
Tajikistan; from Armenia to
Jordan and in every region of
the United States. Their connections
are PAB’s greatest resource.
After assembling an initial
team of teachers, designers,
and consultants from across
the globe, Permaculture Across
Borders incorporated as a Not
for Profit in the state of California,
USA, during August of 2006.
Our
Goals:
To build permaculture demonstration
and teaching sites in partnership
with local communities
To sponsor students' participation
in PDC courses
To provide internship and
teaching opportunities for
PDC graduates
To connect financial and technical
resources to communities
To connect sister cities and
regions so that experiences
can be shared and to learn
from those shared experiences

Peter
Bane &
Keith Johnson are
experienced permaculture
site designers and teachers.
We have been providing consulting
advice and design for 24
years. With a wealth of
experience in temperate
climate permaculture systems
we can offer a range of
consulting services to regional
and distant clients. We
have served clients in Alabama,
California, Colorado, Florida,
Georgia, Hawaii, Illinois,
Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky,
Massachusetts, Michigan,
Minnesota, Missouri, New
Hampshire, New York, North
Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania,
Tennesee, Vermont, Virginia,
Wisconsin, Argentina, Chile,
Canada, Trinidad-Tobago,
and elsewhere.
We bring
a broad range of experience
to guide you through the
process of creating abundant,
whole system yields for
your property, family, or
community. By applying fundamental
ecological principles and
careful attention, we work
to reveal, reevaluate, map,
list, measure and magnify
the abundance already present
or potential in your landscape,
ecosystem, watershed, or
bioregion. We can also identify
the "leaks" (of energy,
$, water, species, or nutrients)
in your system and suggest
essential "repairs" necessary
to regenerate them.

on land that we share
with Esprí’s
parents in the beautiful
hills of Southern Indiana.
Our garden beds lie on
old meadow land that has
not been touched by plow
or tiller for over 30
years. Instead of plowing
up the sod using heavy
machinery, we created
garden beds using no-till
methods. We never use
synthetic pesticides or
fertilizers on our gardens,
and follow organic farming
methods. We believe that
food should be healthy
and nutritious not only
to the consumers, but
also to the larger environment.
We
provide consulting services
in the following areas:
Permaculture design for
urban or suburban home
landscapes or rural homesteads.
This includes edible landscaping.
Design consulting for
natural building, including
straw bale and slip straw.

We take summer interns in
exchange for room and board,
we invite neighbors and

raised bed, no-till methods
("permaculture").
Our long term vision includes
maintaining Laughing Dog
as a healing sanctuary and

In order to achieve financial
solvency we are continuing
development of several specialty

The educational
process at EcoVersity is
inspired by ecological sensibility
and rooted in applied practice.
EcoVersity’s philosophy
and approach encompass the
following principles which
are central to the theory
and practice of sustainability.
An education at EcoVersity
is bioregional in scale,
enabling our senses and
feelings to inform intellect
and intuition. Such a
view is holistic and grounded
in sensory knowledge of
landscape, climate, flora
and fauna. Our practice
is rooted in studying
land-based traditions,
values and awareness.
It affirms the importance
of honoring local knowledge,
science and wisdom, in
addition to Western thought
and science. Sophisticated
cultural traditions inform
contemporary adaptations
such as Permaculture,
organic gardening, natural
building, herbal medicine
and similar ecological
practices. Engaging in
place-specific projects
develops tools for transforming
alienated cultures by
engaging in ecological
and holistic ways of living,
thinking, and acting.

insects and mites by using
their natural enemies against
them is one of the oldest
and most successful methods
of pest control known and
utilized by man. Beneficials
are harmless to people,
plants, and animals. They
are born to hunt, capture,
and consume your pest insects!
We offer biological controls
on a wide range of pests
that are commonly found
on farms and stables,
in fields, gardens, greenhouses,
and orchards: Aphids,
worms & caterpillars,
spider mites, thrips,
greenhouse whiteflies,
flies, mealybugs, sweet

and can produce a surplus
to share. A conscious effort
is made to introduce ways
of thinking about the design
of an entire site, while
building and gardening and
conserving water and other
resources. All the elements
will serve many functions,
and each is a part of the
design of the “whole
site”. Using permaculture
strategies, we will offer
consultations on whole site
design, & sustainable
living techniques, which
includes building with natural
materials, as well as rain
water harvesting, food forests
and gardens, land and building
restoration & more.
Workshops and training will
be offered, as well as general
"how-to do-it-yourself"
information and links to
valuable local resources,
and materials for building
a real home, creating a
continuing and known source
of healthy, organically
grown food for your table
and to share with others.
We will offer classes (one
day and weekend workshops)
on a variety of sustainable
living topics, see "workshops"
on the web site for examples.
Classes will also be offered
through the Linn Benton
Community College branch
in the area. Internships
and work exhange will be
offered, please inquire
by email.

a market garden selling
to local co-ops and restaurants,
an educational garden for
novice and home-schoolers,
and an agricultural park
for a place of tranquility
