Dear Friends of the San Diego Permaculture Center,

One of the projects we've been involved in is growing a school-community
garden at Birney Elementary School in our office neighborhood of University
Heights.  With the completion of the new classroom building at Birney
Elementary, we're kicking off the neighborhood campaign to regain joint use
of the adjacent playing field and to design a community park and garden.
Please join us for the following upcoming events!
