Village Vancouver

Vancouver's Leader in Transition toward Strong, Resilient, Complete Communities

Information

Permaculture Village

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!

she is Italian and appearance seems to be important...I asked her again today... no go...i do have the book Food not Lawns out of the library...maybe some suggestions there...but...I did see a really phat boulevard very close to our house...

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.

Lawns... they can be a hard habit to break. Hope your dandelion wine is excellent! 

Comment by Jill Whitebear on February 29, 2012 at 7:54am
They are really into the lawn. But I have started moving dandelions into the flower garden...I am going to try making dandelion wine this year!

What kind of convincing do they need? Examples? Assurances?

Comment by Jill Whitebear on February 28, 2012 at 5:29pm
I need some help convincing my landlord...then yes!
