patterns. As Bill Mollison wrote

in Introduction to Permaculture,

“Permaculture is a philosophy

of working with, rather than

against, nature; of protracted and

thoughtful observation, rather

than protracted and thoughtless

labour; and of looking at plants

and animals in all their functions,

rather than treating any area as a

single product system.” (Sounds

like, um, common sense.)

Call it what you will. What’s

important to realize is that Rose

also has an extensive skill set:

the passion and the sensibility to

bring it all together. Summer jobs

through her teen years? At local

nurseries. Community-building

work? Volunteer firefighter for 15

years (recently retired as a

“lifetime member”) and the

development of a local food drive

with her fire department. Daily

work includes animal husbandry,

operating all sorts of machinery

and building everything from

fences to chicken coops. Did I

mention pre-dawn to dark, seven

days a week?

And yet, it’s the lifestyle that is,

to the minds of many, the very

best: creating and living in a web

of self-sustaining biodiversity;

supporting and enriching one’s

community and relationships;

living lightly on the earth; and

really, as Rose puts it, “doing

what you do best.” With all your

heart, I might add. H
