Here is the information:
Introduction to Permaculture – Tuesday, 6-8pm, $20
Since its inception in Australia in the 70’s, permaculture’s popularity has been on a steady rise worldwide. Permaculture goes beyond ‘organic’ and focuses on whole-systems thinking and ecological regeneration for every scale. Get introduced to the ethics, principles & key strategies.
Gardening with the Seasons: Thursday, 7-8:30pm, $28
Autumn is a dynamic season in the garden. Many plants are heading into dormancy, while others are in a period of active growth. Doing the right gardening tasks now can set the stage for next year's garden: adding new plants for seasonal interest or making changes to address problems observed over the past season. Some of the best things to do - or to avoid - at this time of year may seem counter-intuitive to some gardeners. This session will cover what to plant in fall, lawn care, how to prepare the garden for winter, and how to maximize seasonal interest and appearance.
Miller Memorial Lecture with Dan Pearson – Saturday, 10-11am, FREE
Dan Pearson is a noted British Landscape Designer, Horticulturist, Writer, and Gardener.
