PERMACULTURE:

per·ma·cul·ture

/ˈpərməˌkəlCHər/

Noun: The development of agricultural ecosystems intended to be sustainable and self-sufficient. Before taking our field trip to the Food Forest at FGCU I had never heard of the term "permaculture". I learned the it is an importance of knowing what permaculture is during this trip. When I think of gardening I think of having to prune,trim, soil, and water various types of plants. All of the work required to gardening is the reason I do NOT garden, but after learning about this type of agruiculture I may reconsider. I realized how many native plants Florida can sustain and how I can grow my own types of food instead of buying it in the store. This is a form of growing our own food without having to work hard to maintain a garden.
