Greetings,
I wanted to inform the Premaculture Forum about a
project I'm involved with in my neighborhood. The Community Orchard of West Seattle!! Over the last year we have been integrating
permaculture techniques and design to create a
sustainable orchard in our neighborhood.

class about BERRIES! and adding them as a creative edible landscape to your garden. We also have more plantings we are doing at the orchard for a mini work party in the afternoon. Here's full message:
