The Blooming Biodiversity West Coast Permaculture Tour

Sep, Oct, Nov, Fall 2015. WA, OR, BC, CA, TX.

The Blooming Biodiversity West Coast Permaculture Tour was an incredible journey of connection, education, celebration, co-creation, activism, and blooming, blossoming bliss. We visited and worked at over 35 locations in less than 3 months, across 4 states and 2 countries, with a team of 28 "Solutionaries" at the height of our tour. Please take the time to see what we did, where we went, and what it was like. Family, we are making a difference. We must choose to be the change we wish to see in the world. It's up to all of us to develop a thriving reality. Will you co-create this world with us?
