Description
Permi-curious? Perhaps you've heard of it from friends, neighbors or you've read about it, but what is it and how can you apply it to your life in San Francisco? Permaculture is an ecological design system that guides us to work with nature to creatively integrate human and natural systems in ways that encourage abundance and sustainability. This workshop introduces the core principles, ethics, process and strategies of applying permaculture design to your life. Topics covered include: theory and practice of ecological design, where and how to get started growing your own food in the city and design your site; how to capture, conserve and reuse water; energy supply and conservation strategies through appropriate technologies; ways to change waste into resources; and local resources to create social networks and creative activism. We will engage in group discussions, small group exercises and tour the garden to point out permaculture design techniques and strategies. Time permitting we will implement a technique to enhance the garden. This is an opportunity to meet like-minded people, create community and have a good time! This workshop is $15/$25 for non-members, although no one will be turned away for lack of funds. Pre-registration is required. To pre-register or for more information please visit
