What is Permaculture? This workshop will present permaculture as a framework for holistic, sustainable thinking and planning in the home, garden, and urban/rural landscapes. Concepts discussed include ways to take concrete actions to reduce your impact on our planet and how permaculture practitioners can work for social justice. We will also spend time discussing a designated space for a demonstration permaculture garden near the Brooktondale Community Center gardens to teach basic principles of a permaculture design.
Karryn Olson-Ramanujan, our guest presenter from the Finger Lakes Permaculture Institute, emphasizes that permaculture is not a new way to garden, but aims to teach people how to achieve a regenerative future for all: on the land and through principles of energy efficiency and social justice.
