When you join this Telegram channel, I want you to be aware of all of the other ways that you can interact with me and with Permaculture Adventures of Michigan. Some of the content will vary from one social media platform to the other. Some platforms value deep rich content more than others that are targeting a 3-15 second attention span. So, we have to tailor our content to the algorithms that run each platform and I want you to be aware of which of my channels will host certain types of content.

Here are some links and they will be pinned to the top of the channel.

Our Telegram chat. Please join if you wish to discuss permaculture.
The Permaculture Adventures Facebook Page. Mostly pictures and short videos about work on my farm, making use of my harvests and some of my work for Food Forest Abundance.
My Instagram page. Short videos and photos about my work for my customers, work on my farm, books and other resources I use. A place to interact with people. No video is longer than 2 minutes, some are 15-30 seconds.
My Permaculture Adventures LinkedIn page. I am a business professional and I like networking with other business professionals and I want the big world of business to know about permaculture as well. You can also find out more about me and my chemical engineering career of 34 years.
The Permaculture Adventures YouTube channel. Videos of varying lengths with "how to" for planting gardens, permaculture design and installation. Very much instructional and educational in nature, not for pure entertainment value.
The Permaculture Adventures X (Twitter) page. Longer and richer video content, random tweets, and another platform to interact with people directly. And so I can follow Elon Musk whom I find is hilarious.
The Permaculture Adventures Alignable page. For business-to-business interactions where I network with nurseries, landscapers, equipment suppliers and seed suppliers.
Last, but not least, our website. You can read more about me and our farm and you can engage me as a designer, consultant, installer or educator in permaculture.

I appreciate everyone who joins these other media channels to support me. Thank you.

Nothing like building a new website on New Year's Eve. Just for kicks and grins.

It was a great privilege to chat with Jesse Tack of the Permaculture Institute of North America (PINA) yesterday. We were pre-recording a session on "Starting a Permaculture Nursery from Scratch" which is part of a summit being held on 2/15 from 9am to 9pm ET by PINA. I couldn't help but use this screen shot of Jesse displaying what a happy character he is.

You can sign up for the free summit "Starting and Operating a Successful Permaculture Nursery" with PINA or if you would just like to sneak a look at my presentation with Jesse, it's right here on the PINA YouTube channel.

We covered the topics of Space Requirements, Licensing and Regulations, Propagation Techniques, Sources of Starting Stock for your nursery, Choosing Your Plants and Managing Your Business and Finance.

Remember, this is free and open to the public! If you have an interest in starting a nursery, I would encourage you to attend as there will be at least 8 other speakers with deep knowledge to share on nursery startup and operation.
