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…See More

I know this is last minute, but the local paper is trying to do a story on this group, and wants to do a photo tomorrow (Saturday Dec. 17) at 11:00am.
I was wondering if you may be available, we are going to do it at my house in North Burnaby. Let me know if you can make it and I'll send the address.
Thanks again, lets talk soon.

Rob miksza said… Hi Athenaise, the site for the food forest is at St Mary's Church in Sapperton. It' part of a small community garden that was established on site about 2 years ago. this summer the gardeners held a food forest work shop and did some initial prepwork on site. Over the winter we are looking for people with a keen interest to get involved in creating an initial planting plan and then get to work with planting it up in the early spring. Hope you are interested.
