Join us for this monthly Permaculture Meetup—a gathering for anyone interested in permaculture and designing systems that work in harmony with the natural world. With various rotating topics of focus, we’ll chat about organic gardening, regenerative practices, sustainable landscaping, sustainability, energy systems, composting, community, and more. As we face a myriad of social, economic, and ecological crises, permaculture offers us a tool kit for moving toward ecologically resilient communities. We meet on the 3rd Monday from 6:30PM-8:00PM at Honest Weight Food Co-op in the Community Room and welcome questions, discussion topics, challenges, and good conversation! Registration or RSVP not required but encouraged. See below for session outline!
