SUMMARY:Eat Your Yard: Converting your lawn to food production
DESCRIPTION:Edible landscaping is a rapidly spreading idea around the world\, with many people switching from ornamentals to edibles: plants that give back by not only looking good\, but also providing fresh\, delicious produce to consume. The best motto: EAT YOUR YARD!\n\n\n \n\n\nPART 1: PERMACULTURE PRESENTATION\n\n\n \n\n\nJoin us for an engaging presentation by Jenn Stotland of Halifax Earth about permaculture and edible landscaping\, where we will learn easy ways to convert lawns into garden space for growing food. We will cover the basics of permaculture and edible landscaping – all aspects of increasing the productive capacity of your home during times of rapidly rising food costs.\n\n\n \n\n\nPART 2: PERMABLITZ\n\n\n \n\n\nPart 2 of this event will be a field trip-Permablitz to the yard a nearby St Margarets Bay resident who is starting this type of yard conversion\, and will start at around 3pm and may continue to sun down. \n\n\n \n\n\nIf you are attending part 2 of the Permaculture presentation and work day\, please bring work gloves\, closed-toe boots\, work clothes appropriate to rain or sun\, sunscreen\, and bug spray. Snacks and a light meal will be provided. We will be installing some basic elements of the permaculture design such as building raised beds\, sheet mulching\, planting trees and bushes\, and more.\n\n\n \n\n\nA Permablitz is a great way to do the essential work of earth repair quickly: The homeowner purchases the design\, and volunteers help install it in a barn-raising work day. Neighbours who helped install the design can later call on the homeowners who benefited from their efforts to help install their own design\, and support the designer.\n\n\n \n\n\nREGISTRATION REQUIRED. Due to the overwhelming response to this event\, we are asking that people register in advance to guarantee a spot. Please email info@transitionbay.ca and include the following information: name\, email address\, number of people coming with you\, whether you plan to attend both the library and work party home visit\, or just the library presentation. It would also be helpful if you include a note about where you first heard about the event. \n\n\n \n\n\nThis two-part event will be family friendly and is open to all. The address for the on-site visit will be provided at the library event to those in attendance. If you are unable to attend the library presentation but want to come by the house\, please email info@transitionbay.ca for further details.\n\n\n \n\n\nThe event is free. Donations are encouraged to defer costs at the planting site.
