Sebastopol Permaculture Work Day

I’ve heard that the Sonoma County Permaculture Guild has had about three incarnations over the years, and I’m really happy that it seems to be getting new life now. Thanks to Erik Ohlsen of Permaculture Artisans, Lenaya Pongan, and Angela Bohl, this past week featured the first meeting of a reinvigorated Guild, and the first work day.

Work days are great…they’re a great chance to learn hands-on skills from experts. On Friday, we met at Ohlsen’s new property where he’s establishing a permaculture resource center for teaching practical skills. We laid out swales, dug them, planted cover crops, and learned something of how a permaculture site is designed. Check out the photos below or view the set on Flickr:

If you want to participate in future events, try joining the Yahoo group…it’s been on hiatus for a while, but it sounds like they’re trying to get moderator privileges and re-establish it. I first saw the announcement on Permaculture-SF, which is another good one to join.
