FEB. 17
Workshop #1: Permaculture Principles and Strategies for Your Landscape
In this workshop, we will explore how permaculture provides a holistic framework and process for designing site-specific solutions. This presentation will start with a brief overview of the origins, philosophical foundation, and ethics of permaculture. Case scenarios and small group discussion will be used to explore permaculture principles and landscape strategies appropriate for Moab and the arid Southwest.

Workshop #2: Permaculture In Our Daily Lives
While most often thought of in terms of gardening, permaculture has more to offer as a holistic framework and process for cultivating context specific strategies and systems to achieve desired goals. During this presentation we will explore how permaculture goes beyond gardening to support and inform our daily lives and livelihoods.
MARCH 16 – CANCELED 🙁
**Due to recommendations by the health department, we are sad to say this workshop has been canceled. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. We hope to have Jeff back at a later date to present this workshop. Stay tuned for information on more classes in the future.**
Workshop #3: Building Community and Enhancing Watershed Resilience Through Permaculture
Working together to enhance the resilience of our watershed and cultivate new opportunities is a fun and fulfilling pursuit. Using permaculture as a guiding framework, we will explore the concept of resilience and place-making through inspiring examples from around the country. Following a brief presentation, we will engage in conversation about practical strategies we may pursue to enhance our local resilience.
