Permaculture
Permaculture For the Backyard and Small Farm
Thursday, January 14, 2016 10 am – 3 pm Cornell Cooperative Extension Office 232 Plaza Rd., Kingston, NY (Hannaford Plaza)
Cornell University Cooperative Extension provides equal program and employment opportunities. Please contact us at 845-340-3990 if you have special needs/accommodations.
For more information call Carrie Anne at 845-340-3990 x311 or email [email protected]
Whether you’re a DIY type who wants to be self-reliant or you’re concerned about the broader impacts of humanity’s unsustainable relationship with the planet (or both!), the best place to begin is the same: right out your front door. We will explore what permaculture design is and how to use it. The first half of this workshop will be a presentation that includes design principles and concepts. During the second half, we will break into small working groups and everyone will put pencil to paper on a small design project (their own backyard). Please bring maps, pictures or other resources to help you as you design your property. The goal is for everyone to leave the workshop knowing which project is most important to do first within their own context, and with at least a rough sketch of what it should look like.
