> Best-selling author to speak in Arroyo Grande on solving environmental
> issues using natural models
>
> (Arroyo Grande, CA)
>
> Toby Hemenway (http://patternliteracy.com) biologist, geneticist and
> author of the best-selling permaculture design book, *Gaia's Garden: A
> Guide to Home-Scale Permaculture* will be appearing at the SLO Down Pub in
> Arroyo Grande *June 17th* 6pm-7pm for a lecture and book-signing of his
> newly released second edition.
>
> Permaculture is a design science that applies the understanding of how
> natural systems work to the design of human systems. In *Gaia's Garden*,
> Hemenway explains how one can apply that understanding to the creation of
> abundant and diverse landscapes that will support the needs of both humans
> and wildlife- basically, how we can help clean the air and water, restore
> life and carbon to the soil to help minimize global climate change, conserve
> energy, grow healthy food and minimize waste and pollution by redesigning
> our patterns of development to mimic those of nature.
>
> Hemenway's book has been hailed by pioneer mycologist Paul Stamets as "a
> milestone for gardeners and landscapers—a fusion of the practical and the
> visionary—using the natural intelligence of Earth’s symbiotic communities to
> strengthen and sustain ecosystems in which humans are a partner, not a
> competitor."
>
> Hemenway traveled extensively around the country interviewing permaculture
> practitioners and observing how permaculture's principles were being applied
> to a variety of sites. The second edition of* Gaia's Garden* includes new
> color photographs, drawings and expanded information on applying
> permaculture to urban situations.
>
> Hemenway is also in the area to guest lecture at the San Luis Obispo
> Permaculture Design Course http://earthflow.com/SLOPDC09.php led by Larry
> Santoyo, Director of EarthFlow Design Works and one of the pioneers of the
> sustainability movement in the county as well as the country. Several of
> Santoyo's designs also appear in the new edition of the book as well.
>
> The lecture and booksigning at the SLO Down Pub http://slodownpub.com/ is
