SUMMARY:Full-day Workshop with Toby Hemenway: Urban Permaculture for a
  Fear-Free Future
DESCRIPTION:Brought to you by the Edible Garden Project www.ediblegard
 enproject.com\n \nHow can we create resilient, regenerative cities an
 d suburbs? Permaculture, an ecological approach to design, shows us ho
 w.  This workshop will show us how to read the pattern langague of ou
 r city and how to find, harvest, and integrate our rich social capital
  and other resources. Together we will explore specific techniques for
  food, energy and community security. Permaculture offers tools for wo
 rking with social systems to create a context for abundance. Challengi
 ng the paradigm of scarcity, we can work with human cultures and resou
 rces to support the earth and her peoples, and to share the surplus. T
 his session will appeal to permaculture experts and newbies alike!\n\n
