TTKD April meeting- Permaculture: Sustainable Food

Transition Kenmore May 2012 Meeting: Permaculture and Organic Gardening, Part 1

We are fortunate to have the very knowledgeable Bruce Ham deliver a talk on permaculture and organic gardening.  Bruce will introduce permaculture, discus characterising soils, and identifying soil improvement strategies.

He will pose the following questions:

What do we want to do?
How do we get started?

This meeting will be the first of two permaculture meetings. In June we will have an education officer from Northey Street discussing permaculture at the Northey Street city farm, and how permaculture fits into the Transition movement.

Thursday May 17

7.15pm for a 7.30pm start

Kenmore Library Meeting Room

As usual the meeting will be followed by supper and conversation. Please feel free to bring along a plate to share. No need to RSVP.
