As a life long gardener I have always looked for ways to improve the output of my gardens without pesticides and herbicides. Several years ago, I came across a video by Geoff Lawton and quickly began studying different permaculture techniques. In 2014 I began laying the ground work to make a business of it. I received my PDC from Geoff Lawton in July 2014 and by August launched jmacpermagardens.com. Currently I am developing 3 properties in the Sonora area. While it doesn't replace my main job it provides a much needed creative outlet that someday may become full time.
