Ever since I was a child I loved The Man Who Planted Trees by Jean Giono.

For years I dismissed it as idealism, but increasingly, as I've researched permaculture and other restorative agriculture systems, I see that Giono packed some incredible wisdom in this simple and quick story.

I wrote a review, which is here.

I hope all of you will take the time to read this amazing tale.

Then go plant some trees.

Best,
-Andrew

I love it. I've seen Greening the Desert before and I was extremely inspired! I implore everyone to look at this link!

I even stumbled it

. It's that important. I should read that story.
