Hi everybody,
For a little over a month now, I've been working on creating a
permaculture project at Jasper PLace High School in Edmonton, Alberta Canada. The schools has a
greenhouse on the roof and some unused
land so I'm pretty optimistic about the project. We're currently trying to create an edible food forest/ecosystem in one of the schools courtyards with plans to use any of the harvest in the culinary program.
It is my biggest belief, however, that greatest measure of the programs success is the number of connections that it can make not only within the school, but in the larger education system and greater community. I guess, what I'm wondering is, if anyone else has any advice, or knows of anyone who might also be interested in this kind of
permaculture initiative? Perhaps, you have some knowledge or a particular skill that you'd be interested in sharing or maybe you're starting up your own school garden; I'd love to share resources.
A journal of the Jasper Place program can be found at the following link:
