Learn how permaculture design connects you with your landscape, creating a mutually beneficial relationship of food production, native plants, and energy-wise design. This is an opportunity to join in a permaculture designer’s consultation and assessment of a local backyard landscape, complete with design strategies and plant recommendations. <\/p>\n
The workshop will begin with a presentation highlighting the relationship between homeowner and residential landscape, as seen through the unique “lens” of a permaculture designer. Then, we will lead a site tour from the designers’ perspective — discussing Gabor’s past and current goals, describing strategies that he has already implemented, and identifying what is and isn’t working. We will focus on alternative or complimentary design solutions that would help the landscape continue to thrive.<\/p>\n
