Join us for an evening with Permaculture teacher Christopher Shein and
a discussion of his new book, The Vegetable Gardener’s Guide to
Permaculture. Learn how to live in harmony with both nature and
neighbors to produce and share an abundant food supply with minimal
effort. Shein highlights everything you need to know to start living
off the land lightly, including how to create rich, healthy, and
low-cost soil, blend a functional food garden and decorative
landscape, share the bounty with others, and much more.
This inspiring, easy-to-follow, information-packed, practical guide
will help you transform your garden into a food forest that feeds you
for years to come. The event is free, and books will be available to
purchase.
