Food Not Lawns Workshop at GFE on June 1

[Guest guest]

FOOD NOT LAWNS!

How to Turn Your Yard into a Garden And Your Neighborhood into a

Community

Sunday, June 1st | 10AM – 3:30PM

Location: Garden for the Environment, 7th Ave at Lawton Street, San

Francisco. Cost: $15 - $30 Sliding Scale

Join Heather Flores, author of Food Not Lawns, at Garden for the

Environment for an all-day workshop of permaculture instruction and

community food gardening conversation. The morning focuses on the

basics of permaculture ethics and principles, as applied in the

small-scale urban garden. The afternoon focuses on multilevel garden

design, and closing resource loops in areas such as water, waste,

labor, and community interaction. Using classic permaculture

principles such as relative location, stacking functions, and

recycling, we will identify and address recurrent design challenges.

Please bring a vegetarian dish to share for a potluck lunch at noon.

The book Food Not Lawns will be available for purchase at the

workshop.
