Weavers Way Sustainability Workshop: Permaculture Mash-up and Potluck

Thursday, May 31, 2018 - 6:30pm to 8:30pm

Permaculture is a regenerative design system, rooted in indigenous knowledge and wisdom, for meeting basic human needs. How are people practicing and implementing permaculture ethics and principles in our own Mt. Airy and neighboring communities? Please come join us for an evening of permaculture sharing and community building. A group of permaculture practitioners will be sharing slide presentations of their work to engage and inspire you to pursue permaculture projects of your own and recognize permaculture practices that you may already be participating in.

The evening's presenters will be:

Donna Volles, Regenerative Farming Practitioner at Rising Locust Farm, Fermentationista and Fungophile

Jean Gajary, Structural engineer solving old house problems; also passionate about creating sustainable and regenerative habitat, experimenting in her urban homestead

Mike McGrory, Founder of the Regenerative Agriculture Supporters of PA (RASP), B Corp Team Member,  Financial Permaculture Practitioner

Alyssa Schimmel, Education Director at Philadelphia Orchard Project, Master Gardener and Herbalist
