Vancouver's Leader in Transition toward Strong, Resilient, Complete Communities

Permaculture Village

Information

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.

Comment by Jordan B on March 1, 2012 at 2:58pm: Hi Jill, there is a really phat boulevard on Pender between Victoria and Templeton (not sure how close you live to there?). I even put in a community garden proposal for it in November, which the city then turned town. Could be great for some guerilla stuff, though!

Comment by Jill Whitebear on March 1, 2012 at 2:09pm: she is Italian and appearance seems to be important...I asked her again today... no go...i do have the book Food not Lawns out of the library...maybe some suggestions there...but...I did see a really phat boulevard very close to our house...

Comment by Rob miksza on February 29, 2012 at 6:34pm: lawn addictions are deeply seeded into the suburban psyche...I'd just slowly advance the garden beds over time until one day...oops...where'd the lawn go??? But I'm a bit devilish that way.

Comment by Justice Schanfarber on February 29, 2012 at 9:18am: Lawns... they can be a hard habit to break. Hope your dandelion wine is excellent!

Comment by Jill Whitebear on February 29, 2012 at 7:54am: They are really into the lawn. But I have started moving dandelions into the flower garden...I am going to try making dandelion wine this year!
