Introduction to Permaculture Design
Natasha McIntosh, organizer of Green Drinks, will be the guest speaker for November Green Drinks. She just completed the certification course in Permaculture Design and with a small group of Permies, working on Orlando's first permaculture project. She will be giving an introduction to permaculture design. Permaculture is permanent agriculture - a term coined by Bill Mollison in 1978. Permaculture at is core is Sustainable Living. Some say it's a system for lazy farmers. Permaculture is a method of designing integrated systems that work with each other where there is minimal input and minimal waste. It is the harmonious integration of human dwellings, microclimate, annual and perennial plants, animals, soils, and water into stable, sustainable and productive communities.

Green Drinks is the only place in Orlando where you can eat, drink, enjoy great music and talk and learn about the issues concerning OurLando's community.
