Bill Mollison (orange shirt, in the middle), one of two founding fathers of the Permaculture design movement, relaxes with students on the Evergreen Farmhouse lawn circa 1982. 2012 marks the thirtieth anniversary of the first Permaculture Design Course held at Evergreen, also one of the first held anywhere. This year's PDC still meets in the farmhouse, just as this first class did back in the day. More about the PDC to come in future posts!
