Over the last two decades, my guest Delvin Solkinson studied permaculture education all over the world by taking numerous permaculture design courses and teacher trainings, as well as completing multiple diplomas, with various teachers. Some of his mentors include Bill Mollison, April Sampson-Kelly, and Rosemary Morrow. From those years of experience, he works to make this knowledge more accessible for students, easier to teach for instructors, and empowering for everyone, by sharing his notes in an open-source approach to permaculture.https://www.thepermaculturepodcast.com/wp-content/uploads/DelvinSolkinson.mp3

I produced the podcast on a Linux laptop for years, and continue to do most of the audio editing in Audacity, so enjoy Delvin’s approach to making as much of what he can readily available, while also acting as a curator to assemble the best of what he’s discovered. You can find all of those essentials, distilled down from his years of work, for free in various forms on his website. You can download the PDFs to read on your digital device. Print copies of the cards and games to play with and use as your own design oracles. And, if you prefer, you can also purchase physical copies from Delvin to further support the ongoing production of these ever valuable tools.Do you use any open-source tools or know someone else who curates knowledge to this level?
