Vancouver's Leader in Transition toward Strong, Resilient, Complete Communities
Permaculture Village
Information
Transition is based on, and inspired by, Permaculture principles. Permaculture is permanent agriculture and permanent culture. We will be approaching 'creating sustainable habitat' in many different ways: regular design & demonstration projects; Social permaculture; workshops. Permablitzes, Blitzes or Permaculture Energy Transfer or Pet Day are days that we go on site collectively create systems which cycle energy toward win win win economy. Food forests provide abundant gardens and parks for all, and structures are working in many ways, creating shade, capturing heat, collecting water. Together we will explore ecological urban and rural design.

Hi Jill, there is a really phat boulevard on Pender between Victoria and Templeton (not sure how close you live to there?). I even put in a community garden proposal for it in November, which the city then turned town. Could be great for some guerilla stuff, though!

lawn addictions are deeply seeded into the suburban psyche...I'd just slowly advance the garden beds over time until one day...oops...where'd the lawn go??? But I'm a bit devilish that way.
