Hello Permies!

It is my great joy to invite you all out to the Kickoff Potluck for the Institute of Urban Ecology's JUNE BLOOM Festival, this FRIDAY MAY 31st.  The potluck will be at Harambee Ministries, which is a absolutely perfect setting to talk about community development through water wisdom!  Our featured speaker will be Altadena garden hero Leigh Adams, who will treat us to a rainwater harvesting education not to be missed.  Please bring you and yours to this wonderful community event, and be a part of the dialogue of real positive transformation of our communities.

The cost of the potluck is only $5 when you pre-register at our website, www.instiuteofurbanecology.org.  The advanced had count helps us prepare, so please do sign up in advance.

The JUNE BLOOM festival will feature weekly workshops and screenings on all our favorite topics, including lawn makeovers, backyard chickens, making biodiesel, beekeeping, advanced composting, and much more.  Please find the flyer for both the potluck and the workshop series attached, or visit our website.

If you have questions, please write me at carterbwallace@gmail.com

Lastly, thank you, Permies, for already anchoring the change we all love to see.

Growing Together-

Carter

"There is one, and only one, solution, and we have almost no time to try it. We must turn all our resources to repairing the natural world, and train all our young people to help. They want to. We need to give them this last chance to create forests, soils, clean waters, clean energies, secure communities, stable regions, and to know how to do it from hands-on experience."
"...the greatest change we need to make is from consumption to production, even if on a small scale, in our own gardens. If only 10% of us do this, there is enough for everyone. Hence the futility of revolutionaries who have no gardens, who depend on the very system they attack, and who produce words and bullets, not food and shelter."
