OPEN GARDEN DAY: URBAN PERMACULTURE DESIGN SITE
SUNDAY AUGUST 28, 2011 10am to 3pm
110 DELAWARE AVENUE ITHACA NEW YORK (Next to College Town) @ Irving Place
Permaculture is a design science by which we pattern our surroundings
to harmonize with nature rather than to subdue nature. The end result
is a farm or garden that is a low-input, self-organizing, mature
polyculture ecosystem.
110 Delaware: This working urban homestead and edible landscape
marries style and function, and an aesthetically pleasing arrangement
of shapes, patterns and colors.

Special Guests:
Karryn Olson-Ramanujan is a co-founder and lead teacher for the Finger
Lakes Permaculture Institute (http://FingerLakesPermaculture.org)

permaculture and answer your questions. Karryn emphasizes that
permaculture is not "a new way to garden," but aims to teach people
the skills to design a regenerative future for all.
