Monte Vista Orchard Garden created in March 2005 with the help of Common 
Vision Fruit Tree Planting Caravan (www.commonvision.org)  and the Santa 
Barbara Permaculture Guild members, parents and children and inspired by 
teacher Judy Sims , over 20 fruit trees and understory of plants, annual, 
perennial has flourish over the year as many groups have assisted the 
garden, it is an ongoing experiment on planting Orchard Gardens at Schools 
to create wild and cultivated food growing areas in public spaces , come 
help and observe


Permaculture speaks of guilds as associations of mutually beneficial 
plants. In cultivating annual plants, people usually talk about "companion 
planting", but the concept of "plant guild" takes the concept up a notch or 
two. Guilds are an area of on-going research and observation in 
permaculture, and a lot of experimentation is going on.


Jenny Pell, President of The Wilder Institute, Next Generation 
Permaculture, will be presenting a slide show and lecture about their 
exciting and dynamic permaculture work in the Pacific NW, Central America, 
and Hawaii. Jenny's latest project in Nicaragua was teaching a 
comprehensive hands-on design intensive for single mothers and children 
which included building potable water filters, plant propagation, making 
infusions and tinctures from medicinal plants, women's health, zone one 
design, grey water guilds, ecoliteracy, art, and music. Currently Jenny is 
working on expanding local agricultural solutions and local 
self-sufficiency initiatives in her hometown of Port Townsend, WA, and has 
launched a "Permaculture All-Stars Edible Plant Nursery and Horticultural 
Workshop Series" in a broadscale effort to bring more cultivated diversity, 
and more permaculture skills into her community. For more information about
