Come learn from member David Kibbe about permaculture and try his ideas in your own garden this season. Did has cultivated his extraordinary property entirely using the philosophy of Permaculture. His techniques will inspire and delight you.

• Composting for spring and early summer use.  What’s been going on all winter in those piles?  Can you use too much compost?

• Ground surface water management, storage, and use. Both “hügelkultur” and bioswales can help a gardener get more from rain water, prepare new planting areas, and develop rich fungal networks that support healthy plant growth.

• How does a small greenhouse fit into your gardening plans, and how can you plan effectively for transplanting into the garden at the best time to ensure healthy plants?

• What’s the best way to create a meadow of native perennials? Even small areas of native grasses and flowering natives can add much-needed support for your habitat of pollinators.
