Show Notes
Brad Lancaster is a permaculture and regenerative design consultant and educator. His specialty is sustainable landscapes.
We chat with Brad about using the landscape to harvest rainwater. And about using the landscape as a living air conditioner.
Brad also talks about a very inspiring project that he helped spearhead, a community food forest.
We talk about:
- Using permaculture principles in landscaping
- How to harvest rainwater in the landscape
- The connection between landscapes and cooling
- Using the soil and "speed bumps" in the landscape to make it a living sponge
- Selecting plants to suit the landscape
- The Dunbar Springs Urban Food Forest
