The World In A Garden is happy to present Passport to Permaculture, a summer camp where kids learn about food and ecology following the 3 ethics of permaculture: care of all people, care of the earth & fair share. Throughout this weeklong camp, kids receive stamps in their “Passport to Permaculture” as they complete activities on the topics of nutrition, urban agriculture, biodiversity, local food, multiculturalism, ethical business and more! The camp features guest speakers, a pizza-making field trip to Rocky Mountain Flatbread Company and a camper-run farm market.

What is permaculture? Permaculture is a regenerative ecological design system that works with nature (not against it) to restore the beneficial relationships found in healthy ecosystems, produce food and create resilient, conscious communities.

Transportation

If you have to leave your village, how will you get where you want to go? By car? Preferably not, both for your wallet and the earth’s sake. This category is for all discussions relating to how we all get around.

5 discussions

Housing

A human right? After food, most feel shelter is the most important necessity. A place of shelter is also the start of a community. This category is for all things relating to shelter, housing, affordable housing, homes, renewable heating systems, green buildings, heritage, and our built environment in general.
