2011 Community Permaculture Design Open Announcement
Be part of a crowdsourcing effort to create an urban edible forest
garden in the City of Syracuse, NY.
The Best Design, selected by a panel jury, will receive a $250 cash
award and be implemented on the property of the Rahma Free Health
Clinic at 3100 South Salina St in Syracuse. Submissions are due by
April 1, 2011 with the Best Design and two Honorable Mentions
announced at the Upstate NY Permaculture Gathering in Rochester, NY on
Saturday April 9, 2011.
The Rahma Clinic is a new resource for Syracuse providing free health
care services at their 3100 South Salina St. location. An important
part of health is nutrition and healthy eating, and it is a well known
fact that the Southside of Syracuse currently does not have a grocery
store providing fresh produce and healthy food choices. Young and old
are faced with an overabundance of pre-packaged sugar laden snacks and
processed “foods”. More healthy food options are needed for Southside
residents and visitors.
The Community Permaculture Design Open is a project of The Alchemical
Nursery, intended to bring free and innovative Permaculture design to
the needs of regional socio-economic and community development. The
Design Open also gives an opportunity to Permaculturists, landscape
designers, and sustainable agriculture practitioners to showcase their
work.
Full details including the creative brief, design criteria, and
submission guidelines, are available:
