SUMMARY:*Seedy Saturday: Permaculture 101
DESCRIPTION:Join the Cedar Cottage Food Network and the Vancouver Publ
 ic Library for the second of our 2016 Seedy Saturday workshop series. 
 Each event includes a workshop on a gardening topic and a seed swap.\n
 For our second workshop, the focus will be an introduction to permacul
 ture. Permaculture is a philosophy that encourages working with our na
 tural environment instead of against it. For example, permaculture sug
 gests grouping certain plants together in a mutually beneficial way (s
 ometimes known as companion planting) instead of row planting. Permacu
 lture can be similar to indigenous planting practices; as we know, Fir
 st Nations peoples here in Vancouver, which is on unceded Coast Salish
  territories, are a wealth of knowledge in terms of growing food and m
 edicine. Instructor Kim Del Valle Garcia, who teaches intensive permac
 ulture courses at the Hastings Community Centre, will go over practica
 l applications of this way of thinking. Introduce the 12 principles of
  permaculture in your garden this season!\nFollowing the workshop, par
 ticipants are welcome to take seeds from the Kensington-Cedar Cottage 
 Seed Sharing Library. Donations of saved seeds are much appreciated! P
 lease help keep our seed library stocked.\nThe event is free but pleas
 e pre-register to save your seat.\n\nFor more information visit http:/
