Giving Tuesday

Continuing the recent posts following the #HashTagsOfTheSeason, I would like to encourage you this #GivingTuesday to consider supporting the Forest Avenue Outreach Community Orchard Project.

I've highlighted the orchard and the good work my friend Ralph Chiodo is doing at Forest Avenue Outreach before-

• Initial Tree Planting Event
• Patriot Day/Day of Service Projects - Trellises and Fire Ring
• The Summer Sustainability Series

Their current needs to consider for #GivingTuesday include:

• Funding for a tool shed
• Steps to enter the garden
• Sponsorship for an AmeriCorps Worker (~$3000)
• 2017 liability insurance ($2500)
• 2017 irrigation ($850.00)
• Funding/materials for raised beds in new community garden
• Funding for 3 bee colonies
• CPA for taxes

You can donate money directly here: https://forestaveoutreach.com/get-involved/donate/
Contact Ralph through their website to help them out with materials. 
LIKE and SHARE their Facebook page and needs with your circle of friends.

Blessings for the rest of your week!

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!
 

 

Big thank you to my customers and followers, too. I am glad I could help you on your journey to a more sustainable lifestyle and bring beauty to your landscapes, with a strong foundation for abundant yields of the highest quality fruits, vegetables and more. In time, I trust the bounty from what we have created will be on the menu at your Thanksgiving celebration.

 

My hope in the future is for those who follow us will be thankful for the trees we've planted, the rich soils we have made and the clean water we've contributed to.

 

 



Black Friday Deals

I wanted to get this post out early so that we could all enjoy our Thanksgiving Day.  I hope you can gather with friends, family and food this holiday.  Travel safely.  If you cannot join others in celebration due to commitments, try to be mindful of the good things that have happened in the last year.

A great way to continue the celebration of abundance would be to schedule an Abundant Design landscape project!

Call or email ABUNDANT DESIGN today to schedule an appointment!

PermaEthos - Learning Opportunities

This weeks post talks about PermaEthos, the organization where I completed my Permaculture Designers Certificate Course.


The word PermaEthos is made up of two parts,

• Perma – to be permanent, to last and endure, to be sustainable
• Ethos – ideals that characterize a community

Four Primary Missions at PermaEthos

1. Design, implement and manage profitable Permaculture farms
2. Deliver top quality Permaculture training programs
3. Empower real world and virtual communities built on Permaculture Ethics
4. Create educational and entertaining Permaculture-based on-demand video programming

PermaEthos conducts multiple training courses and workshops.  Some of the educational programs consist of short term field workshops others include online training courses with interactive instructor support.


The first such online program was their 72 Hour Permaculture Design course which attracted over 1,300 students, including me, during its first open enrollment period. 

Additional online courses, some with a free preview lesson, include-

• Permaculture Bee Design Course (BDC) conducted by Michael Jordan, also known as “The Bee Whisperer”
• Plant Propagation and Small Nursery Establishment Course conducted by Nick Ferguson of PermacultureClassroom.com
• Soil Restoration Course with Michael Vertrees
• Creating Gaia's Garden with Toby Hemenway
• More to come

 

Also available FREE are the live PermaEthosTV seminars.  Each week a new presenter and topic covers .  Past presenters have included Marcin Jakubowski of Open Source Ecology, Paul Wheaton, and Toby Hemenway, author of Gaia's Garden.

Past seminars are available on Vimeo for $2.99
