permaculture

[Claudia Joseph <permie@earthlink.net>]

Hi Brit,
Epworth Center is working on building a permaculture community in  
High Falls, NY.  They have planned a straw bale structure with a  
stone foundation.  localenergysolutions.com/092106-Epwth-brch.pdf   
There are courses there, too.  I teach and garden in Brooklyn.  I  
believe that Larry Santoyo will be here in Manhattan in Aptil for a  
weekend permaculture intensive.  Andrew and I may be working together  
in the spring, as well.  So a nice network is beginning to come  
together here.  Where are you in NYC?

Good luck with your plans.
Claudia
