Earth Day In The Bayview: Permaculture @ Palou

Wondering what all the buzz is about permaculture?  Come and learn the basics principles of this method of sustainable agriculture with a certified permaculturist, then spend the afternoon with your neighbors putting your new knowledge to work by collaborating on a design for the Palou Community Garden.  The "garden," located at Palou Ave. and Dunshee St. in the Bayview, is in the process of being transformed from littered vacant lot into a green space for the community.  Trash has been removed, the spaced weeded and mulched, and soon a mural will be installed.
