and high technology are not the way out of this dilemma. There are ways
to live sustainably on the Earth without going back to the Stone Age.
What many of them have in common looks a lot like what today is known
as permaculture, an ecological design approach based on knowledge
gained from nature. Toby's presentation will show us what makes
agriculture, and the industrial society that relies on it,
fundamentally unsustainable, and how permaculture offers us a better
way.</font></p>

face="Times New Roman" size="5">Food forests, or edible forest
gardens, are life-filled places that not only provide food for people,
but habitat for wildlife, carbon sequestering, biodiversity, natural
soil building, beauty and tranquility, and a host of other benefits.
This workshop will cover the basics of designing, planting, and
maintaining a many-layered woodland garden of fruit and nut trees,
perennial and annual vegetables, and flowers. The day-long class will
give you both the theory behind food forests and a wealth of practical
information, including which plants to use, where to start, and what to
expect as your food forest grows.<br>

<b>Permaculture Solutions for City and Suburb</b><br>
Sunday, May 23rd, 9 a.m. - 4 p.m., includes lunch<br>
<br>
How does permaculture work in urban and suburban places? Though land
may be limited, cities are rich in other resources, especially social
capital. This workshop will show how to find, harvest, and integrate
the many resources in our cities in sustainable ways, including getting
access to land for gardening, creating business guilds and networks,
learning the pattern language of the city, creating public space in
neighborhoods, and building urban ecovillages. We'll learn how
permaculture's principles and design methods apply to the dense, rich
environments of our cities, and how to leverage the special
opportunities that cities provide.<br>
