NIce post, Dave.
"Permaculture" tends to exist outside our gardens, overflowing to the people and community, doesn't it.
Hazelnut, same here in my neck of the woods, we tend to send folks off with a sack of whatever goodies. I love it! Even when I was a little one and saw my Granny send the electrical workers off at the end of the day, each with a sack containing a jar of jam, a ham biscuit, and some of MY peppermint candy. (They'd just hooked up electricity to our place so I guess they earned it, eh?)
And to this day the permaculture carries on, the people care, the fair share, and the earth care was just a given.
