I just found out about this event, and didn't see it posted here, so I thought I'd share it.



FOOD NOT LAWNS!
How to Turn Your Yard into a Garden And Your Neighborhood into a
Community
Date: 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.
