Join us for our July Meetup @ Jennifer and Mike's House!

Jennifer and Mike both have a strong passion for permaculture, cultivation and innovation! They are in the beginning stages of planting a food forest and their plot includes many fruit trees, berry plants, perennial vegetables and much more to come! They will be extending their home for an afternoon packed full of fun and education! Mike will be grilling burgers (vegan/beef) and we will have a cooler space for drinks. It might be a hot one! They have three guest speakers that are full of knowledge to share, as well as an indoor lighting overview from Mike!

They love that permaculture not only connects us to nature but other like minded individuals as well! They have a long run of privacy fencing and would love any of your help painting a mural on it. The topic... you guessed it, Permaculture! Paints and brushes will be supplied.

The guest speakers are excited to chat and will speak on the following:

1:15 - 1: 30 Mike Harnos has been working in controlled environment agriculture and agricultural distribution for over 15 years and has worked with numerous companies bringing cutting edge products to market.

2:00pm - 3:00pm Harley Smith is a renowned hydroponics consultant and research scientist with a vast background in cultivation in a wide range of environments. He will be doing a 1 hour lecture on organic biostimulants and their uses in the garden ranging from general plant needs to conditioning plants in order to prepare them for stress.
