The first ever Oklahoma City permaculture workshop will be held
Saturday and Sunday, September 26 and 27th, from 9 AM to 5 PM, at the
Regional Food Bank (3355 S. Purdue). Jerome Ostenkowski of Rocky
Mountain Permaculture (http://www.crmpi.org ) will be the  teacher.

Saturday's topics include an introduction to permaculture,forest
gardening, integrated pest management, and a discussion on creating
microclimates, sheet composting, grafting and propagation.  Sunday
will be about greenhouse design and management, aquaculture,
vermiculture and weed management.

Permaculture is an approach to land-use design that integrates plants,
animals, landscapes, structures and humans to create and construct
eco-sytstems that are productive and non-polluting.  For a basic
overview, go to http://www.crmpi.org , which also has a photo tour of
the beautiful permacultured gardens that Jerome is responsible for.
