Hey Folks!
Here's the info on my upcoming course to kick off the Santa Cruz Hands-On Permaculture Course Series. This weekend we'll be going over design of Food Forests and Veggie Gardens, then installing them in a backyard in Felton, CA near Santa Cruz. The format will be mixed lecture and hands-on. This course is an outstanding deal for people who want to get the skills to create abundance where they live, or earn money offering these services as a business.
Please forward this on to interested parties. For group discounts of 3 or more, please inquire.
Best,
DS

THESE WORKSHOPS ARE HANDS-ON:
Feedback from every course we have led has been “more hands-on.” This is one of the major reasons we are creating this workshop format. Following the classic words of wisdom “The knowing is in the doing,” we will hone our design skills through experiencing the details of implementation.

ACCOMODATIONS:
There is camping in many areas in and around Santa Cruz. Participants will need to arrange this themselves.
MEALS:
Meals are workshop participant’s responsibility. There will be 1 hr. lunch breaks providing enough time to get something quick nearby if needed.
