The next meet up is scheduled for April 17, 2011 (approx. 2-5 p.m.) and will focus on the whys and hows of yard transformation from four perspectives: Permaculture, Bioretension (rain water conservation), Food Production and Creation of Wildlife Habitat. Each of these areas is inherently connected and relative to each other.
Overarching design principles and aesthetics guide transforming space towards each of these ends.
Unless otherwise noted, we will be meeting at the Cleveland Hts. home of Mari and Denis (please r.s.v.p. for address and directions) whose front yard is in the design phase of rain garden/habitat creation. We will have among us those who have transformed their yards, those knowledgeable in design and plant culture, bioretention and more.
This is what Food Not Lawns, Cleveland is about and what is hoped to be a kick-off for many more transformations.
Looking forward,
Mari
