Permaculture Projects: Outdoor Living Spaces

I could sit here for hours!
 
This is just a quick post to give you some ideas for Outdoor Living Spaces.  This is a trend that is starting to take off in newer homes and remodeling, but it has been a vital part of Permaculture Design for a long time.  We need to do everything we can to increase our time outdoors.  There are a lot of other benefits for being outside, but the direct Permaculture benefit is observation.  When we are outside, we have the ability to observe and interact with nature.  We gain a better understanding of the normal cycles of the natural world.  The more experience we have with nature, the easier it will be for us to mimic or use these natural cycles for our benefit.
