City Riparian
10/13/06-10/14/06
If you're interested in learning about permaculture, here's your chance. The City Repair project will be planting a food forest in our yard throughout City Riparian. There will be workshops, too, on "guild" planting, sheet mulching, making seedballs, and spinning yarn (taught by yrs trly). The work/learn party is free; the workshops and nighttime events are suggested donation, but no one will be turned away.
This is more than a minor miracle for John and me. I've been partially disabled for several years now, and my garden (an entire city lot) has fallen to ruin. Now that I'm pretty much completely disabled--I sure can't dig garden beds, that's for sure--we were looking at selling my home of nearly 20 years because we couldn't keep up the yard. And I love my home. I don't want to leave it.
With City Repair's help, the yard will be turned into a permaculture food forest, which will give us plenty of food for ourselves with plenty to share--as well as cut down significantly on the amount of maintenance the yard requires.
If you'd like to come, for 15 minutes or the whole weekend, to help or just talk with John and me, you're sure welcome.
