from the Permaculture Community

making permaculture stronger, I think it’s a really great initiative..

Darren J. Doherty

I can’t recommend this podcast enough… thanks so much for your efforts.. there is so much refreshing content.. I sometimes get a bit tired of of some of the way permaculture is going.. but this just brilliant.. thanks to all involved to those of you not… have a listen x

Matt Swarbrick

design process… is the core of permaculture, and it’s been a bit of a mystery, a black box… I think there’s a lot of lessons that can be learned from the previous decades of design practice to make permaculture stronger

David Holmgren

I really applaud Dave (Hursthouse) and especially Dan Palmer for initiating this and holding up the mirror and saying ‘hey guys, look at yourselves. Look at what you’re saying. Look at what you’re teaching. Look at what you’re doing. Is that really the best you can do?’ And so some of us older ones in the beginning were a little bit confronted by it, but once we embraced the process, it’s been really exciting, and I think that it will make permaculture stronger

Trish Allen

A very close colleague, Dan Palmer, what he’s done with the blog Making Permaculture stronger, focusing on design process, I think his work is incredibly fundamental…

David Holmgren

I think Alexander’s concept is much closer to how permaculturists actually design, by starting with something that is already a whole and then differentiating and integrating additional factors into it. The issue is mostly that our language has not caught up to our practice. Thanks, Dan, for the inspiration. I always enjoy revising my thinking to more accurately bring theory and practice into better congruency.

I am heartened by the conversations you’re starting internationally Dan around making permaculture stronger

Hannah Maloney
Good Life Permaculture

Dan Palmers podcast, interviews, musings, rants, research and writing are all making permaculture stronger for me. My understanding is constantly evolving through your work. And since I am a part of the permaculture community, indeed permaculture is getting stronger (better, more complete, able to evolve deeper understanding, etc….) every step  of the way.

Bill Houghton

I’m really fascinated by the stuff that Dan Palmer is doing at the moment about permaculture and Christopher Alexander’s stuff… he has a website called making permaculture stronger …which I’d really recommend listeners to have a look at. … It’s very interesting stuff – I love Christopher Alexander’s work and it was brilliant to see someone take the time to try and piece the two together

Rob Hopkins
Transition Network

I think that starting your quest for improving permaculture in the realm of design process is a brilliant place to start, because so much flows from that.  So much.
