Hello from Colorado

[Aaronj]

Just returned to Western Colorado after a year of permaculture adventures in Australia. It feels strange to not have my hands on a project.. landing up here in the middle of winter... so figured it would be good to find some permaculture friends online.

I have also been looking for ways to get involved in permaculture aid for Haiti and wonder what information people have regarding that.

EDIT: I am also working on guilds of permaculture plants for Temperate/Cold and Arid zones, any input would be beneficial. Thanks.

All the best
Aaron

Yukkuri, Aaron
There is a thread on permaculture Haiti in the news section you might like to post your link and ask questions there.

What is Colorado like weather/climate wise. I get the idea it is a bit dry like Australia.

BTW Aron welcome "back"
