For nearly 40 years, Rosemary\u2019s work as a teacher has brought permaculture directly into the lives of her thousands of students. As an author, she has touched innumerably more. As her students became teachers and other teachers used her works in their classrooms, her ideas and methods continue to ripple through the world and reach even more.With this reach, her work touched has touched my own, first as a student, through her book Earth User\u2019s Guide to Permaculture, and later as an instructor, when I used that book as one of the student texts for the course paired with the companion book to that, Earth User\u2019s Guide to Teaching Permaculture.Now, we celebrate Rowe\u2019s newest book, from Melliodora Publishing, Earth Restorer\u2019s Guide to Permaculture, with a series of conversations covering her thoughts on the breadth of permaculture as a practice, interwoven with stories from throughout her journey.To start things off, I knew a lot about Rowe\u2019s writings, but not about her early life, how she came to permaculture or her career as a teacher and author. So, we begin where so many interviews do on The Permaculture Podcast, with a conversation about her biography and background, which includes some insights into the development and growth of permaculture over the years, the kinds of character and teacher Bill Mollison was, and how Rowe reframes permaculture education into a local, lived experience, whether she\u2019s teaching in Australia, Vietnam, or Cambodia.Support the PodcastDonate Online: Via PayPal\xa0-or-\xa0Venmo @permaculturepodcastYou can find Rosemary's books, including Earth Restorer\u2019s Guide to Permaculture, at the PermaculturePrinciples.com store.As we close this conversation and prepare for the others which will follow, I\u2019d like to re-extend the invitation for you to answer Rowe\u2019s questions:\xa0\nWhat is your country?\xa0\nDo you speak a language from there?\xa0\nDo you know how the indigenous peoples lived on that land?\nVisit Our Series PartnersPermaculture PrinciplesMelliodora PublishingAbundant Earth Foundation
