Shuswap in Transition presents “Eat Your Yard: How to start a Permaculture Garden” Saturday.

Spring is here, and many people are heading outdoors to start growing their own fresh, healthy food, beautiful flowers, and to improve their landscape.

Gardening is often a constant battle to keep the things you want growing, and to rid yourself of unwanted plants.

Permaculture is a philosophy of working with, rather than against nature, mimicking natural systems.

Saturday’s workshop, taught by Element Eco-Design, will include topics such as growing healthy soil, designing a home garden and harvesting rainwater.

Create your own healthy, abundant haven with a permaculture garden.

This workshop is taking place at 4851 20th Ave. NE is hosted by Shuswap in Transition, a community group with a focus on community health, sustainability and resilience.

Email shuswapintransition@gmail.com. Cost is $75 per person for the day.
