RE: Learn Permaculture Design Online for FREE From Oregon State Univeristy
Thanks for the detailed feedback. I will take a peek at the videos. maybe I won't even need the course! I've been struggling with Gaia's Garden for a while, I have sticky notes, all over that book. I liked the idea of community and being able to have discussions, I though that aspect of the course might help connect the missing pieces in my brain.
I did not find the forums helpful, as there are THOUSANDS of strangers just crammed in a room for a few weeks. It's impossible to get to know someone closely, although that depends on the time they're willing to spend posting.
The first time I've read Gaia's Garden was on a train ride for a few hours, next time was in an afternoon at a beach bar of all places... I guess each person processes information differently, but that book reads like a breeze. I've struggled with the PDM and Permaculture One, now those are some heavy reading!
Also, what's with the sticky notes? How do you actually use them, it's an honest question?
Thanks for the feedback.
It is a great book, I completely agree. I have read through it several times. It all makes sense until I step outside and look around. That said, A lot of great things are happening regardless of my low level understanding of permaculture :)
Someone sent me a package of heart shaped sticky notes and I ended up writing my notes and comments on them because they were handy. I much prefer notebooks.
