Learn more about permaculture in a session planned for 7-9 p.m. Wednesday at Midtown Arts Center, 3750 S. Mason St.
Permaculture is far more than a gardening technique; it is a philosophy of working with, rather than against, nature. Seeking to imitate naturally occurring patterns, permaculture is most commonly applied to landscape design.
Patrick Padden, permaculture educator, will share ideas about how to make your own yard more sustainable and organic.
This is the first of three landscape programs in the annual Residential Environmental Program Series.
• Unique and Functional Xeriscape on April 2, features Loretta Mannix, The Horticulture Consultant. Discover how to create a well-designed landscape with design tips for transitioning from lawn to garden beds, including a variety of exceptional, underused plants.
• Wildscaping 101: Habitat Hero Landscaping on April 9 is with plantswoman and author Lauren Springer Odgen and plant biologist and author Susan Tweit. Learn why and how to provide habitat for songbirds and pollinators, while saving water.
