Hey all,

I am new to the forum, but would love to tap into the huge brainpower reservoirs here. I have designed a resource for people to showcase their beautiful homes and gardens that use permaculture practices.

Before I launch the site I would love to talk to some of you about what features you think would beneficial.

One main goal of the site is to encourage people to get rid of their lawn in place of an edible landscape.

About me:
Not a weirdo (by some standards). I am currently pursuing a Masters of Leadership towards Sustainability in Karlskrona Sweden.

I am in the process of producing a thesis on making a compelling case for "Edible Landscapes instead of Lawns."


This is a passion project of mine. If you have any interest in speaking with me more you can reach me here (obviously) or through my email: admin@thesociocapitalist.com or PM and I will give you my Skype username.


Thank you all!

My home and garden aren't very beautiful, so I can't submit photos for content  but I do want to say I am very excited about your project and look forward to seeing the website!

Some kind of free landscape design software download would be a fabulous thing to offer.

Thanks Ludi!

That is a great idea about the free software download, I will see what I can come up with.

And don't be bashful about your yard. Everybody is a work in progress!

Thanks!
