Hi there, I recently moved to Atlanta and would love to meet other people that live in the Atlanta metro area who are involved in permaculture design/ ecological + edible landscaping. At the moment I am doing an online PDC from Geoff Lawton and it’s been quite the journey so far. So, let’s connect, share ideas and keep growing. Cheers! Jasper

Hello Jasper, I don't live in Atlanta, but do live in the Metro area about 45 minutes north of Atlanta up GA400. I have 7+ acres in Dawson County that I am developing into a "Modern" Working Homestead. At the time, I have a large garage (to store materials+tools) and a straw bale house under construction. I have built over 200 feet of hulglekultures, swales, and generally improving the land to have a homestead that I can live on and consume 75% of the food I eat from the property. Lots of plans, but not lots of hands. If  you would like to use some of the skills in permaculture or put some to use, I welcome the help/ visit. Contact through Permies. Regards, Richard

Hi Jasper, Rachel and Steve,
I have a permaculture style 3/4 acre garden ITP just west of Midtown.
Been here about 6 years. My aim is partly wildlife habitat (certified NWF/Audubon), partly food (bees, trees, berries, vines, vegies), partly recreation/education (3 school age kids).
I'd love to meet up. My schedule is very flexible.

Hi all,
I know this thread is a year old, but I am hoping that some of you are still active (and still in Atlanta!). I am also starting permaculture on my small (1/10th of an acre!) lot, and would love to connect with other locals to hear about their permaculture journeys. Like Steven, I am designing for edible foods and natives. I'm also ITP just west of Midtown.
