To register, call 845-255-1559 or visit http://unisonarts.org/programs/Permaculture.5.8.html Permaculture for Home and Garden Wednesday, May 8th 7:00-9:00pm In this class you will learn Permaculture principles as applied in temperate homes and gardens. We will discuss organic gardening, building with local natural materials, ecological lawn, meadow, stream and wetland care, orchards, composting, off-the-grid water systems, and domestic and wild animal management. Bring questions about your garden and home and be prepared to learn about ideas that can improve your quality of life, simplify your needs, and increase your family time by cooperating with ecological processes to create abundance and diversity. Ecological Water Systems: Farms, Families & Communities Wednesday, May 15th 7:00-9:00pm Fresh water is essential for healthy human communities and is becoming ever scarcer. In this class students will learn holistic approaches for increasing aquifer recharge and percolation to alleviate flooding, sediment and siltation problems and to make more high quality fresh water available on your site and in your community. This course will focus on Permaculture and ecological design solutions for multiple water issues. We will explore in-depth designs for a range of applications and environments: mountains, plains, deserts, temperate and tropical. Specific topics will include: siting ponds, developing springs, gravity fed systems, solar pumps, cisterns, rainwater catchment, natural wastewater treatment, rain garden designs for biofiltration of runoff from parking lots and roadways, erosion control, stabilizing stream banks, and more!
