I am looking for a hands on learning experience where i can apply practice and principle in permaculture design. I am 22 years old currently living in new jersey, i would like to learn and educate myself through experience as much as possible. I am trying to build a network of friends who i can learn from as well as share my experiences. I have some gardening experience. I am open to all suggestions and i am looking forward to establishing a future in permaculture design.
