EllenB (Ellen Butchart)

which part of the west coast do you want to move to? I love that description of your relationship to your orchids-- they are the most beautiful plants in the world to me! I hope to see pictures of them soon :) <br/> <br/>I am so interested in permaculture- it&#x27;s a bit of a mystery to me but sounds fascinating!
