I am giving talks at schools, universities, conservation parks, horticultural societies, groups as well as offering snacks, meals, prepared foods and balms. PM me.

Thank you Bob and Michelle for the tour and inviting me to lead Wednesday's foraging tour to all you Permies. Especially for your and Adrien's making it happen, this amazing perma-paradise and learning center you've created.
