When most of us think of forest, we think of rainforests. However, dryland forests are just as important as our rainforests are. Take a look at this great video from Permasolutions to learn more about how our forests keep our drylands working.

A water-retaining landscape is a critical part of helping to correct the global problems of water shortages and imbalances. In seeing how one town addressed its problems of hydrological imbalance, we can see how important it is to create a landscape that will retain the water it's given through rain, snow, and natural waterways. With Sepp Holzer and Bernd Mueller, this video is a beautiful little gem of very pertinent information!

What could be better than Forest Gardens and greenhouses? A Forest Garden in a greenhouse! We've found just the right greenhouse to use to make it happen, too! In fact, we think we may have found the best of the best in greenhouse designs. We'd like to introduce you to Growing Dome® Greenhouses.
You can find them on our "Featured Favorites" page as a permanent part of the Sacred Earth Gardens area of our website. Growing 6,000 pounds of food per year on 1/10th an acre of land sound too good to be true, right? How about 400 species of plants, hundreds of eggs from chickens and ducks, and honey, too? Sounds incredible, and it is! Check out this great video on urban farming! It's a wonderful inspiration! Video Credit: YouTube user "FoodAbundance" at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NCmTJkZy0rM
