Thanks Greg!  We are around $1000 right now.  Yay!!!

Our carpenter and I sorted out where the shed will go last week.  We'll be using permaculture techniques while still having to satisfy the aesthetic needs of the college.  We're going to try some things with cement blocks for a foundation.  Then it can be an example of creative natural building.

This is awesome! I'd love to check it out in person if I'm in the neighborhood next spring/summer/fall.

22 hours to go!  We are about $650 away from our goal.  Northwoods Community Garden campaign

We're planning a 1 hour "Intro to Permaculture" class for free for all the gardeners to introduce them to the soon-to-be permaculture side of the garden.  

Alongside that we are planning 4 sessions with a permaculture design team (made up of interested gardeners and local permies) to plot and plan the garden.

Should be fun.  I sure hope we have enough money to pay for some shrubs

Bonus!  If you donate a certain amount, you get your name added to our donor board in the garden  

(I can't remember the amount but it's not terribly large)

When this is over tomorrow, shoot me a PM or reply here if you do want your name on the board...

Yay!!!  We hit $3000!!!  Thank you to everyone who contributed!  There are still a few hours left if anyone wants to get in on the action.  More money means more permaculture....
