Hi Wes and Marjorie,
I am having an introduction to permaculture workshop and peace vigil on
my land in east San Diego County on Sunday, 9/11. I thought you might
like to know. The announcement is below. Please let others know.
Thanks!
All the Best,
Jane Higginson
Introduction to Permaculture Workshop at Snail Haven Farm
and Sanctuary, Dehesa, September 2005:
9/11, 2 PM - 6 PM -- Introduction to Permaculture Workshop taught by Jane
Higginson ($35),
6 PM - 7:30 PM -- Remembrance Day Peace Vigil (FREE), and
Evening Refreshment (please bring), with guest speaker Marcia
Boruta, Director of San Diego Economic Conversion Council/Permaculture
Center: "Permaculture for Peace":
Permaculture means "permanent agriculture" and
"permanent culture". It is a design science and art which
utilizes patterns in nature as a basis for design. This way, we can
provide for our needs by creating cultivated ecosystems on a local basis.
We can drastically reduce the footprint we have on existing, natural
ecosystems, and potentially reduce conflict with other peoples. Jane
Higginson, Diploma of Permaculture Design, will guide you through
ethics, principles, pattern observation, how to read the landscape, and
basic design elements of permaculture. The instruction will be both hands
on and conceptual. Please wear boots or sturdy walking shoes. The
workshop will be followed by a Remembrance Day Peace Vigil, with
guest speaker Marcia Boruta, who has been Executive Director of
the San Diego Economic Conversion Council for over 18 years. If you
opt to attend the vigil, please bring a snack or non-alcoholic drink to
share which does not require refrigeration (you may bring small items,
which can be kept on ice).
Snail Haven Farm and Sanctuary is a Project of Archelonia
