Free Talk! Santa Cruz Permaculture - An Overview!

Permaculture Design is a method of landscape planning that can be applied to anything, from a home garden or farm to a city block or entire village. It is an ethically based whole-systems design approach that uses concepts, principles, and methods derived from ecosystems, indigenous peoples, and other time-tested systems to create human settlements and institutions. The class will be led by David Shaw, a Permaculture and whole systems designer, facilitator, and educator, as well as founder of Santa Cruz Permaculture Farm and the UCSC Right Livelihood Center.

Free Talk - Establishing & Maintaining A Drought Tolerant Native Plant Garden
Free Class!

Join us here in the outdoor classroom at Mountain Feed & Farm Supply, for an informed and experienced take on establishing a native plant garden in the cool winter months. Now is the very best time to get native plants established, while the soil is still moist and cool. Native plants support pollinators, birds, and other native species, as well as being adapted to dry summers and low soil fertility. There are so many fragrant, lovely cultivars available! We'll cover planting and watering, pruning and management, of annual and perennial species. Come with your questions and your curiosity! We look forward to seeing you. RSVP below to confirm your spot.
