permaculture

[Ray Cirino <cobanation@yahoo.com>]

Dear Friends,
 
I've been getting so many requests for information regarding my upcoming 
event, so here it is!
 
I warmly invite you to an Introduction to Permaculture lecture I'm offering 
at The Arboretum in a few weeks (see details below).  This is going to be a 
fun, relaxed, communal, and educational experience as we gather together to 
co-create.  
 
I will give three concise slide show presentations covering: 
1. The larger picture of our modern practices in relation to the environment, 
permaculture philosophy, opening our eyes to see how nature flows and how to 
flow with it
2. The steps involved in creating a permaculture garden
3. Specific, highly practical tools on how to make the garden work, things 
that I commonly see go wrong in clients' gardens and how to eliminate them.
 
We will also check out what's happening in the permaculture garden I curate, 
which will be right outside, so you'll be able to see everything I'm talking 
about in real time.
 
I will be bringing excess abundance from the garden and invite you all to 
bring your favorite healthy and yummy foods to share as you like.  Bring your 
own plate, etc., though we do have banana leaves to eat upon.
 
Forward this on to all of your friends, as it will be a great time to learn 
and meet hip, new, like-minded people!  
 
Looking forward to seeing you all there,
Caitlin
 

Introduction to Permaculture
Saturday, September 26
9:30 a.m. - 12:30p.m.
Instructor: Caitlin Bergman
$22 members/$25 non-members
 
Have you ever wondered why growing your own vegetables can be so difficult 
with the myriad of pests, scorching, and water issues?  Learn to create a 
healthy layered food forest in your own backyard by working with nature, not 
against it.  Discover a growing revolution in sustainable gardening where 
overlooked materials become free resources, yields increase, work is 
minimized, and the mutual support between people and the local environment is 
restored.

 
Participants will gain an understanding of the key concepts involved in 
permaculture.  We will cover ecological solutions such as composting in place 
and soil contouring to conveniently replenish nutrients and reduce 
irrigation, while learning the art of creating a beautiful garden utilizing 
edible, medicinal, and ornamental plants.  You'll see nature in a whole new 
way!
 
Please call 626.821.4623 to reserve your place.

Dear Friends,

This is an amazing opportunity! I am very familiar with this community.
It's a stone's throw from The School of Living Arts (my learning
center), and anyone would be way fortunate to set up farming here. It's
a beautiful setting on old Shaker property. If my life were different,
I'd jump on it myself!

Please pass along the word.
Thanks,

Angela
