Liz is joined by permaculture mom and teacher Nicky Schauder of Permaculture Gardens to discuss why this is an important concept for us individually and for our planet. 

Permaculture is a series of principles around food production. Some say it is the way we can restore our ecosystems and ensure access to clean, nutrient dense foods in our localities for generations to come.

Learn from Nicky how to turn your yard--no matter how small--into a garden to produce food for your family. Her Grow it Yourself class is hands-on and allows you to explore your space and your curiosity in the best way possible for you.

Nicky mentions the Story of Stuff in her interview. You can find that video here.
