All-Day Permaculture ‘Design & Work’ Biltz – Saturday, June 14
Join us for a one-day Permaculture Design-Blitz in Stelle A permaculture blitz is when a group of people get together to transform or ‘permaculturize’ someone’s yard in a single day or weekend. Walk with Becky and me as we piece together the next stage in the permaculture design for our home with the expert advice of Ron Nowicki (pictured). We will all learn from his 30 years of experience as a permaculturist and ecological-landscape designer. In the afternoon, everyone is invited to get some hands-on experience in design layout and implementation. This should be a really fun and educational day for all of us.
