URBAN PERMACULTURE WEEKEND SERIES
July 26 & 27
9:00 am to 4:00 pm each day
Sliding Scale $75 - $200 (includes dinner Saturday, overnight, and
breakfast Sunday) Scholarships available; please contact us for information or
to help with a donation
Cities are rich centers of culture, diversity and exchange. Unfortunately,
they also produce pollution and drain resources from rural areas. Join us for
a weekend focused on redesigning cities to create vibrant urban ecosystem
In these workshops, we will explore downtown Ithaca and the idea of
"ecological cities." We will delve into many topics, including urban
gardening, composting, tree pruning and natural earth plasters through
hands-on projects in a local neighborhood.
Saturday evening we will camp out in nearby woods overlooking the cityscape.
All weekend we will discuss challenges, ideas, and solutions for making our
environments more livable. Join representatives of local organizations,
designers, and urban residents from throughout the northeast to discuss how
permaculture is applied to the needs of city life, including transportation,
city forestry, food security, economics, and justice.
