Jenny Pell on Beacon Hill Food Forest and Other Permaculture Adventures 
Permaculture Podcast Episode52

Foodforests occupy the visions and dreams of many a permaculture 
enthusiast.  Of those dreaming and visioning foodforests, the cramming 
of layers and complexity into temperate systems can become an obssesion. 
  Those who do not share this obsession may find the potential of these 
systems difficult to grasp and will miss the subtleties of design and 
interaction that are so fascinating.  For this reason epic public 
demonstration sites are more than worth their wieght in gold.  The 
Beacon Hill Food Forest has captured loads of media attention lately as 
it has become a poster effort as the largest public food forest 
demonstration site in north America.
I spoke with Jenny Pell about Beacon Hill and a few other fascinating 
projects she is involved with.
