Event: Urban Permaculture Design Tour (9/11/11)

Announcement:

OPEN GARDEN DAY II

URBAN PERMACULTURE DESIGN SITE

SUNDAY SEPTEMBER 11, 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. She'll be here from 12-2 pm to give a brief explanation of 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 for a regenerative future for all. She also offers consulting services in Strategic Sustainability Planning.
