PRACTICAL PERMIE WEEKEND
Sept 30 – Oct 1, 2006
At Edible Landscapes, 1732 Pell Road, Roberts Creek ,BC
V0N 2W1 (604)-885-4505
www.ediblelandscapes.ca
The Practical Permie weekends were designed to fill in some of the obvious gaps in the learning of Permaculture arts - the “smelling, touching and talking to teachers” part that is missing from books and Cyberspace. Our goal is to provide experiences in handling plant and building materials so that we can more easily assimilate Permaculture concepts into our daily lives. Our team of facilitators were chosen for their deep knowledge, their comfort with their chosen topics, and wealth of very local (lower mainland BC) experience.
This Practical Permie weekend will be held in Roberts Creek, B.C. at three easy to access sites. Camping and nearby Bed and Breakfast facilities are available. Meals can be ordered or food can be prepared on site. Please bring your own drinking water if you can carry it, and specialty foods if required. Communal lunches and dinners on site if desired! For those not taking the full days, there are nearby walking and cycling trails, or relax under a tree with a book.
Our goal is to expand Permaculture experiences and to increase networking between the Permie community.
WHAT’S UP FOR THE PRACTICAL PERMACULTURIST?
Saturday will be a “plant based” day at Edible Landscapes, a day of green house touring, site planning, assessing winter foods and some lessons from Columbia. On Sunday, Peter Light will take over with a broad range of topics from scavenging materials, mulching, garden design and layout, plant guilding, windbreak creation and even more! See below for details.
CLASSES ON SEPTEMBER 30 - 1732 Pell Road.
8:50 sharp – 10:30 - GREENHOUSE BUILDING - Bruce Moseley
(This class is a brisk 10 minute walk up the hill – or we could carpool with one large vehicle)
It’s no surprise that rich Europeans used fantastic glasshouses back in the 1800’s to grow incredible plants. You can really expand what you grow with simple home-made projects or fairly cheap purchased ones. Greenhouses allow you to grow a bigger variety of crops peppers, tomatoes, grapes, figs, melons, etc) and to lengthen the growing season by 2 to 3 months. During our 1.5 hours together I will show you my greenhouses, describe all the benefits (there must be some bad things to say about them but I can't think of one), and discuss how to grow stuff in them. We will also build a small one.
Bruce Moseley has been an organic gardener here for 35 year. In the last several years he has expanded what he grows through the marvel of greenhouses. Bruce is also an educator and is very active in local politics.
10:45 – 12:15 MAKING BASIC HERB MEDICINES - Lyrae Emerson
Lyrae will show us how to prepare the most commonly used herbal remedies, including poulticing, salve preparation and tincture making. She will start with the raw plant material and will give us complete instructions for how these projects would be finished later. Plant ID and preparation will be covered.
Lyrae Emerson, BSc, Honors, Environmental Sciences, is a biodiversity specialist and self-taught healer (through research) who learned to use wild medicinal herbs to heal her body after several western style medical doctors had given up on her and told her there was nothing more they could do for her. Now she shares her knowledge and experiences to help others see that there is always hope.
12:15 – 1:00 Shared lunch space is available or preorder a lunch from NuTrish
1:00 – 2:30 INTEGRATING PERMACULTURE PRINCIPLES INTO GARDEN DESIGN - Harry Hill
The workshop will cover the basic steps of garden design: creating a site survey of the property that shows existing features and trees, indicates drainage problems and where summer sun falls; working out the best possible circulation (pathways) on the property; doing zone analysis following permaculture principles; suggesting where food-producing trees, shrubs, vines and ground crops can be placed. The workshop will conclude by having participants sketch a garden design for their own property (or their ‘dream’ property) based on what they have just learned.
Harry Hill recently received a Certificate in Garden Design from UBC and is working as a garden designer on the Sunshine Coast. He was editor of Menziesia, the quarterly newsletter of the Native Plant Society of BC, for seven years. Harry has run a home-based native plant nursery in Roberts Creek, and given slide/talks on native plants to ElderCollege and many garden clubs. For more information, visit www.greenmangardendesign.ca
2:45 – 4:15 TIMELY ACTIONS – Robin Wheeler
Robin will walk us around the garden, pointing out the tasks that should be done at this time of year. We will do the last of the seed collecting, will prep the garlic bed for planting, put the tomato bed away, get the perennials and tender plants bedded down for the winter, look for potential materials for drying, cut the squash vines back, and generally get in touch with the season’s tasks and deadlines.
Robin Wheeler is owner of Edible Landscapes. She is founder of the One Straw Society, the Sunshine Coast’s organic growers group. She writes “Coming to Ground”, a column for Momentum Magazine and wrote “Gardening for the Faint of Heart” for Raincoast Books. She teaches gardening skills to children and adults.
4:30 – 6:00 FROM COLUMBIA - Chris Berrio
Chris will bring us some gardening methods from his native Columbia. He will discuss methods for dealing with insects and disease, how the moon phases are used and how human factors influence production in the garden. He will talk about aboriginal beliefs and shaman teachings that he has learned through his travels to the villages. He would also like to talk about food security and control over our food systems.
Chris Berrio is a Columbian with some years of experience working with and learning from poor peasants, aboriginals and blacks communities in Colombia. He is an Organic agriculture instructor and environmental activist. He now lives in Vancouver
6:00 - onwards Shared dinner space available, preordered dinners available at 6 pm by NuTrish foods. You are welcome to stay and visit!
SUNDAY OCTOBER 1 - 1732 Pell Road
10:00 – 11:30 – WINTER GARDENING – Alain Bergeron
Explore the numerous possibilities available to Sunshine Coast gardeners to keep their gardens producing over winter. Planning your planting schedule from summer throughout the fall will ensure a steady supply of hardy veggies that can withstand winter temperatures and rainfall. I’ll share my top ten varietal picks. Some even get sweeter with the frost! Others benefit from prior year planting and self-seeding to get the earliest start possible in the spring.
Alain Bergeron found The Promised Land on the Sunshine Coast in his late twenties after completing literature studies at cegep du Vieux Montreal and an eclectic sojourn to foreign lands and tree planting throughout British Columbia. Alain has created a sustainable, permaculture-oriented market garden upon which he bases his livelihood and raises his children. Alain has discovered that each element of his land has a symbiotic relationship with other elements. His job is to put the pieces of the puzzle together for maximum purpose and utility.
SUNDAY AFTERNOON WITH PETER LIGHT - Presented at Peter’s garden – 2692 Highway 101. Peter will be duplicating his lessons for those who could not attend the June classes, but will be including seasonal shifts and awarenesses that even those who have taken his workshops before will appreciate.
1:00 p.m. - 2:30 p.m. Into the Woods
Our resource base for gardening and permaculture is other people's waste, the sea, the shore, the fields and the forest. Our local "woods" contain many free materials useful and essential for simple living. Learning to recognize and use them is essential for any degree of "living on the land" and "natural building", and can provide food, mainly fungi; fuel; fencing; and a full range of building materials, for, above all, shelter.
3:00 - 4:30 On the Ground: Exploring a Permaculture Design
This workshop will center on the instructor's garden and permaculture design laid down six years ago, and will explore examples of siting, "small is beautiful", windbreaks, doorstep development, vegetable garden lay-out, plant guilds, water management, aquaculture beginnings, bamboo cultivation, and much more.
4:30-6:30 Social and Dinner Break - cooking over fire -
6:30 - 8:00 Getting Started
From wild land to productive garden in days, doing it mostly for free; utilizing what's there; the collection of resources; the stretching of resources; hands-on sheet mulching demonstration; getting [the soil] rich quick; keys to successful gardening.
8:30 - 10:00 Prerequisites to Starting
A circle around a fire to discuss the prerequisites to gardening and permaculture necessary for setting meaningful goals, motivation, sustained energy and action, and lifetime commitment. These prerequisites include a critical political and social analysis; an ethical commitment; a moral repugnance; a sense of hopelessness; personal dissatisfaction; an undoing of social conditioning and mainstream assumptions; awareness of our vulnerability and fear for the future; a will to survive; a clear alternative vision; and courage to take the leap.
10:00 p.m. - 1:00 a.m. Firecircle
PETER LIGHT
63. Grew up in Kitsilano and Frazer Valley. One year UBC. Dropped out in 1962 to work fulltime in the peace movement; further in 1967, fifteen miles beyond roads and electricity, with wife and four week old daughter, basic hand tools, three months worth of food, absolutely no money, some skills, knowledge, intelligence, commitment, and absolute confidence - no thoughts whatsoever of any future income source, but somehow no doubt that I was going to sucessfully "live in the woods", and wasn't coming back.
From November, 1967 to January, 1978, we lived in Storm Bay on an average yearly income of $4000 for a family of four, half of that "disposable", first three years comfortably bare-bones simple, primitive, hand-to-mouth, only regular income six dollars and then twelve dollars a month family allowance check; next seven years "wealthy" grower-to-smoker organic marijuana farmer, minimum yearly income $900, maximum $7000. Built 16' x 24' log cabin for $150 with a double-bit axe and a single-person cross-cut saw; had productive garden in a clearing in the woods, building up the top-soil from nothing. We lived like kings - home with our children, living with nature, our forest and the inlet waters, garden at the doorstep and creek rushing by, lived without want for ANYTHING (not even the frozen orange juice I thought I'd miss) for ten years - without electricity and appliances, alternate or not, without television, refrigeration, indoor hot running water, telephone, daily newspapers - radio and/or tape recorder half the time. We didn't even use flashlights.
Our children were educated at home 24/7; I was with wife and family 24/7; hugged kids twenty times a day; learned and developed and extended the principles and practices of organic gardening and mulching; began inventing and developing what I later learned to call "Permaculture", concurrently with Bill Mollison, who was doing so in Tasmania and Australia.
We were living a very simple lifestyle in a very small space, leaving a very small footprint. All waste was recycled, including human urine and manure. Intense vegetable gardening started at the doorstep of our later dwelling, a 12'x 12' cedar-shake cabin. Squash vines sprawled up and over the roof. The main path through the garden led to chickens in zone II that ran in one strawyard and in one of three netted runs. Grape vine on chicken fence. Comfrey and other species planted for chicken food. Bees on chicken house roof. Dwarf fruit and nut trees in runs. Clover and other herbs under trees. Bees on clover flowers and pollinating fruit trees. Chickens not eating bees. Chickens eating clover. Clover fixing nitrogen. Leaves from trees providing mulch. Chickens fertilizing orchard and garden. All garden scraps to chickens. Chickens used as earth movers, shredders, pest control, eggs. Suddenly one moment, I got excited. I thought I was inventing something new and it was very, very exciting.
Then, sometime in the very early eighties, after I'd left Storm Bay, I encountered the book, "Forest Farming" by Douglas and Hart, describing a shift away from mono-cropping and annuals to a productive three-dimensional agriculture consisting of trees, fields and livestock. Soon after that I burst into the brilliance of Bill's brainchild, Permaculture, and I was "home", I had a new way to define my life, my protest, my drop-out and my developing lifestyle. I became, and am, a "Permaculturist".
I have continued to live the simple, some might say primitive, lifestyle I evolved in Storm Bay, bringing it's essentials and flavour into city back-yards, semi-rural Roberts Creek, and soon, hopefully, once again back up the coast, onto the land and into the woods.
