Warm up with an inspiring morning for relaxed permaculture stories, examples, and conversation.
Registration coming soon
The physical layout of your business, home, and garden can be wind at your back or wind in your face. Structures, driveways, water, fences, wildlife…your site is a puzzle. You, your community, and your land have unique qualities. There are helpful themes and patterns in nature. Your site design can blend your goals, gifts, and values with nature’s patterns to benefit you, your community, and the Earth. Good design is fun, inexpensive, functional and empowering. This workshop will introduce permaculture site design as a useful framework for making observations and plans. We’ll share helpful tools, examples, stories in an inclusive and uplifting session of peer-to-peer learning.
Bring snacks and water bottle. Dress to be comfortable indoors and outdoors. Most folks prefer a way to make notes.
