Terra Commons presents:

Food Not Lawns
How to Turn Your Yard into a Garden and
Your Neighborhood into a Community

With Heather C. Flores
Presentation and Book Signing
May 6th Traditions Café
7-9pm Donations Welcome

Food Not Lawns combines practical wisdom on ecological design and community-building with a fresh, green perspective on an age-old subject. Activist and urban gardener Heather Flores shares her nine-step permaculture design to help farmsteaders and city dwellers alike build fertile soil, promote biodiversity, and increase natural habitat in their own "paradise gardens."

Tonight's event will also be a seed and plant swap. Bring your seeds and plants to share!

This would be an awesome thing for somebody to attend and do a write-up about it on OlyBlog. Food prices are going up...
