Can we change industrial civilisation to meet our needs.

A 1996 urban 3 bed, plus loft conversion, semi detached house.
After attending a Permaculture course in 2011 I decided to make the front lawn the start of a Permacuture project for the whole house.
Lawn Gone is an example of how a not very good front lawn can be made into a productive and beautiful garden.
The most successful grops are herbs, I have managed to dry and store my own herbs since 2012 – Marjoram, Thyme, Rosemay & Sage. I also use Rosemary, Calendula and Lavender in soap making.
The garden is a haven for bees and birds and also I spend much more time out there than I used to so get the opportunity to speak to my neighbours more often.
I have to weed every few weeks as the grass still wants to grow and I have to let some weeds stay put as the beds are mounded without support it can lead to soil erosion. The weeds help to stop this.
It looks a bit bare in winter and I may try to introduce some evergreen plants but come late spring & summer it’s stunning!
Started to learn how to propogate cuttings from my plants so that I don’t have to buy replacements, hope to sell a few herbs locally.
