Hi Everybody!<br><br>Here&#39;s the info for the next <b>Creating an Edible Oasis Course - May 15-17 in Ventura,CA</b>. This is a practical course on how to design and implement edible forest
gardens - a way of growing food that provides year-round abundance that
lets nature do the work. We will be creating a forest garden in a front
yard in Ventura!<br>
<br><b>A couple highlights about this course:</b><br>-We have a new
Friday night permaculture party as a component. We&#39;ll have live music,
wood-fired pizza, and a permaculture presentation that gets into the
details of permaculture and food forestry. It&#39;s also an option for
friends and family to come just for the night.<br>
-The course includes the essentials of food forestry applied in a
hands-on format - that way you will really know how to do it, and what
you&#39;ll run into when you do it yourself.<br>-It is priced rediculously low compared to other 3-day courses<br>
<br>As you&#39;ll notice below, has a great incentive for you to advertise
and bring friends. For every person that signs up and pays in full that
mentions you, you get $5 off your tuition. Also, if you fill out the
registration form and pay by May 8, the course is only $45!<br>
<br>If you don&#39;t plan on attending the course, but know people who
would, please send this out to friends or put up a flyer on your local
bulletin board.<br><br>Much gratitude, much love,<br>Devin Slavin<br clear="all">
