Help us take our first step in turning our back yard into our Education Garden! Come learn about permaculture and its role in the planning and development of a new garden behind our store. What is permaculture? Why is it important? Join Jo Russage, owner of Birchwood Urban Permaculture in Manchester and Mary Tebo Davis, Community Forestry Educator from UNH Cooperative Extension, for the evening as they enlighten us on this topic. Ben Kaufhold, valued member of the A Market team will follow with a brief presentation on his permaculture landscape design for the A Market Education Garden before heading outside to learn how to sheet mulch the first areas of the garden.
It’s a community effort! Those who would like to stay and help mulch, please bring gloves and dress in appropriate clothing for playing in the dirt! Don’t want to get dirty? Stay for the lecture only, we will understand if you don’t want to play!
