Join Green Drinks NYC this month for a lively evening learning about Food, Flowers and Farming!
Where: The Horticultural Society of New York, 148 West 37th Street, 13th floor - New York, NY
When: April 8, 2014 from 6:30 - 9:30pm
Silvia will give a presentation on Urban Permaculture and will inspire New Yorkers to grow their own food and reconnect with Nature.
The word Permaculture comes from permanent and agriculture, and it's a whole system approach to the design of human settlements that integrates landscape, built structures, agriculture, ecology, energy, and economy into a framework that provides opportunities for humans to become a benefit to the planet while supplying resources for an abundant existence. Shortly, permaculture is a system to meet human needs while increasing ecosystem health.
Anyone using permaculture design principles can transform their sill, roof top, patio or balcony into a sustainable and beautiful food-producing garden. Composting can produce naturally rich soil out of kitchen scraps, and tier planting, vertical growing, and inter-croping imitate the natural processes of a forest combining plants that thrive together while maximizing the production in small urban spaces.
