Saturday March 18th – LOVE SLO 9am – 12noon at City Farm & also Laguna Lake
Community Garden

Show some love for our local permaculture garden projects by volunteering.
One site is the City Farm Spring Beautification and the other is Build a
Recycled Water Community Garden. We have the land, now we need people to
tend the land. We've been building the soil, now we prep the soil for
planting. Come lend a hand as there has been lots of storm damage to repair
and soil to dig and pathways to mend. You can sign up online here:

Or you can just show up! See attached flyer for more events at Our Global
Family Farm.

 

Saturday March 18th – Community Creation gathering at Wildwand Tea 5pm – 8pm
in Atascadero

Zachariah Stillwater and others are feeling inspired to see 2017 unfold in a
way that allows people to build community on a piece of land to live
together in a sustainable way. The group has made a list of values and
desires, now is the time to form an organization and get the word out. There
is possible land in SLO that can be used to create a co-op housing space on
120 acres.  This is what will be explored together at the next meeting on
March 18th. Contact Zachariah zachariahstillwater at gmail.com

Mark Lakeman from Portland’s City Repair will provide an overview

challenges, and numerous successful models based on affordable tiny-house
