Film & Food: "The Global Gardener"

For our first Winter Film & Food Night, let's remember and celebrate Bill Mollison, cofounder of PERMACULTURE!

Bill Mollison: “Though the problems of the world are increasingly complex, the solutions remain embarrassingly simple.”

Bill Mollison, cofounder of Permaculture with David Holmgren, died on September 24, 2016. Let's remember Bill and revisit his work and his legacy with this film featuring his work.

The Global Gardener follows BILL MOLLISON, a practical visionary who traveled the globe spreading the word about permaculture, the method of sustainable agriculture and living that he cofounded. Permaculture weaves together microclimate, annual and perennial plants, animals, soils, water management and human needs into intricately connected productive communities. Mollison proved that even in the most difficult conditions permaculture empowers people to turn wastelands into food.

LOGISTICS: We will start with the film (feel free to come early to get settled), then have a potluck. Please bring a "potluck kit" - dish, bowl, cup, silverware, napkin - as well as your potluck contribution. We will be able to plug in crockpots, heat some items up, make hot water for tea.

PARKING on Sunday is easy and free - go to UNH's C Lot, across Mill Rd from Waysmeet.

COST: We will be taking donations to cover costs for the event - purchasing the film and a screening license cost.

Sponsored by The Seacoast Permaculture Group, The Waysmeet Center, & The Permaculture Club at Waysmeet

Our Film & Food nights are a chance for us to come together for both learning and getting to know each other better. We ask that you come with an open mind and heart to new information and new friends.

We hope that our film choices will teach everyone something they didn't know before and/or challenge ideas you have held. In our potluck and discussion we will also be looking to give everyone a chance to share and feel a part of the group. We believe that everyone has something worthwhile to contribute and the discussion leaders will help to facilitate the event so that there is space for all to share some part of themselves and what they bring.

These discussions are an opportunity to voice initial reactions to the film and topics at hand. We hope the discussion leads to opportunities for further conversations between all there, on the website afterwards, and via further research each person might do.
