I'm in a similar situation with student loans. I am very new to permaculture, aside from obsesively watching hundreds of hours of videos online this last year. I'd like to find a good entry level work environment to learn the basics and meet the like minded that could help me on my way. I live in Bellevue, WA. WWOOF, nurseries, greenhouses, landscaping... it's dizying how many options there are. Any suggestion on the best way to get started locally?
