Join Us for a Paid Workday This Saturday!

If you’ve been wanting to see permaculture and food forest principles in action—or if you just want to spend a Saturday evening doing some grounded, community-focused work—we’d love to have you out at the Truck Patch.

This Saturday, July 11th, we are hosting a hands-on community workday to lay down a protective blanket of mulch across our young forest garden. By mimicking a natural forest floor, we are building a living soil network that traps rainwater, blocks out weeds, and keeps our ecosystem thriving through the summer heat.

Here is some wisdom from a few ecological pioneers on exactly why we focus so heavily on the ground beneath our feet:
