Learn how to create a sustainable
future in your suburban backyard and beyond. A central theme in
Permaculture is the design of regenerative and ecological landscapes
that produce food. Emphasis is placed on multi-use plants, cultural
practices such as sheet mulching and trellising, and the integration of
animals to recycle nutrients and graze “weeds.” Permaculture entails
more than just food production. Energy-efficient buildings, waste-water
treatment, and land stewardship in general are other important
components of Permaculture. Design concepts are applicable to urban,
suburban, and rural settings, and are appropriate for single households
as well as whole farms and villages. In this 2-day course you will learn
the ethics, principles and holistic design process practiced in
Permaculture. Plus, participants will take part in hands-on Permaculture
projects at local sites to put theory into practice. $150. For more information go to www.commongroundinpaloalto.org/ or call 650-493-6072. To register click here: introductiontosuburbanpermaculture.eventbrite.com/#
