The UMass Amherst
Permaculture Initiative is a unique and cutting edge
sustainability program that transforms grass lawns on the campus into diverse, edible, low-maintenance, and easily replicable gardens. Over the past two years students have create three community demonstration
permaculture gardens that have engaged over 1000 students and more than a dozen
local K-12 schools.
Permaculture is defined as, "ecological design for sustainable communities that involves people working together to care for the planet." It is considered to be the most sustainable form of
gardening and farming and UMass Amherst is currently the only public university in the country implementing new permaculture gardens directly on campus each year and using the food in the dining commons.
Please share A LOT on other lists and on
Facebook!! Let's knock this vote thing out of the park and SHOW the President how much
Permie Love is out there!!!
Peace,
Isabel
