[Southern California Permaculture] Join Us @ Earth Day/Live Green Section/Booth # 538 Live Green Section

[Margie Bushman, Santa Barbara Permaculture Network]

It's Earth Day!

Join us in Alameda park, where Santa Barbara Permaculture Network 
will be in the Live Green Section,  booth #538, and next to the Santa 
Barbara Food Alliance at #539.  We are on the East Section, same side 
of the park where the Food Court is,  in the middle of the block on 
Santa Barbara Street, between Sola & Micheltorena streets.

Back to the Roots!  this years Earth Day theme.  Did you know that 
some of the CEC "roots" were right next to the current Earth Day 
festival site at Alice Keck Memorial Gardens, in earlier days the El 
Mirasol Polyculture Farm.  From 1971 to 1974 an experimental urban 
farm operated in the heart of Santa Barbara with things like 
beekeeping, chickens, a biodigester, 600 tons of organic matter 
composted annually, remarkable!  Ultimately, the SB Museum of Art, 
owners of the land, had plans to sell the land, and the farm had to 
close.  Stop by our booth and read the rest of the story in 
"Agriculture in the City" published by the CEC in 1976 describing 
this wonderful project- we were fortunate to have someone find it 
recently and share it with us.

Come by and visit, have your lunch, we have a table between the two 
booths just for that purpose, we'd love to see you.

And thanks to the CEC for continuing to host this amazing community 
event where once a year we can all meet and greet, share time and 
projects, see what the rest of our community is up to.
