Food Not Lawns- Organic Garden and Permaculture Discussion Group

West-end/downtown Toronto, locations tba.
This facilitated group explores key readings, concepts and experiments, both in the off-season and in the garden. This year we'll discuss Food Not Lawns, by Heather Flores. Heather's gardening and community food work is prolific and influences many in the organic gardening and permaculture communities around the world. We'll talk both about her writing and Food Not Lawns, the organization and movement she helped launch and nurture. We'll spend latter sessions planning and implementing our own Food Not Lawns projects (individual or group). This group is for people interested in developing leadership and technical skills around food security, community gardening and food gardening. Also for those who want to have more food and less lawn in their own yard.
