So what if we were
asked to design a natural flow
 using these natural patterns?
The entire permaculture
    community has been identifying
 patterns.
There’s a pattern of questioning I like to
    use: What? So what? Now what?

    Patterns are the “what.” Biomimicry
         is the “so what.”
   NOW WHAT?
Well, let’s look at
              places we could use
          these patterns.

I’m looking for at least one idea for every
pattern FLOWING out of each of you.
Get it? Flowing?

Look for the flow?


                     Tee Hee!
THE BRANCH PATTERN

• Can you think of a flow that works for
  the branch pattern?

• When would you need to collect and
  distribute water, air, food or material?
