Transition is based on, and inspired by, Permaculture principles. Permaculture is permanent agriculture and permanent culture. We will be approaching 'creating sustainable habitat' in many different ways: regular design & demonstration projects; Social permaculture; workshops. Permablitzes, Blitzes or Permaculture Energy Transfer or Pet Day are days that we go on site collectively create systems which cycle energy toward win win win economy. Food forests provide abundant gardens and parks for all, and structures are working in many ways, creating shade, capturing heat, collecting water. Together we will explore ecological urban and rural design.
Village has a Permaculture focused garden plot at Cottonwood Community Garden in Strathcona, and we (Jill, Jorge, and Ross) are looking for one more person to join us. The cost is $5/year person, there's a 4 hr/month per plot work requirement at monthly garden wide work parties (per plot, not per person, next work party is at the end of June), and an orientation for new members.
The plot will also be used to save seeds for our seed libraries and seed projects.
If you're interested or have questions: Ross at ross@villagevancouver.ca or VVcottonwoodgarden@villagevancouver.ca.
