On Wednesday, Nov 17 from 7 pm - 8:45 pm, the Permaculture Guild of Santa Barbara will present a free class, "Patio Permaculture: Growing Food on your Balcony, Porch or Patio" at the South Coast Watershed Resource Center at Arroyo Burro/Hendry's Beach, 2981 Cliff Drive in Santa Barbara. We'll show a brief video by permaculture co-founder Bill Mollison on how to grow food in small spaces, plus we'll have a discussion where we share ideas and experience about what grows best in small spaces here in Santa Barbara.  We'll pay special attention to how to use vertical space, trellises, bamboo teepees etc.
 
And as decided at our Oct 27 Steering Group meeting, we'll also be including the following in each meeting:
    inviting folks to post their Needs & Resources on the whiteboard
    inviting folks to bring plants or seeds to share if they have extras
    holding a Steering Group meeting from 6-7 (open to all) to continue planning upcoming Guild events, tours etc.
     
See you there!
Linda

"...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."
~ Bill Mollison, co-creator of the Permaculture concept
