Urban Permaculture

February 6, 2014 – 12:58 pm

John Kohler has put together a lot of interesting videos about US food gardening at Growing Your Greens. Last fall he did a video of the urban garden Nancy and I work in and use to teach permaculture as part of the Permaculture Guild of Houston. See Small Space Permaculture Garden on 1/4 Acre at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BFDuM2P1E-Q. The classes are part of the Sustainable Living Module taught through Urban Harvest http://urbanharvest.org/permaculture and http://urbanharvest/classes.

Fruit Tree Sale Video

February 6, 2014 – 12:28 pm

Patrick Gibbs has put together a detailed, fairly comprehensive interesting video on Urban Harvest’s recent Annual Fruit Tree Sales. These are among the largest one day fruit tree sales anywhere and the latest one surpassed even the previous 13 years’ sales. If you want to change the way people garden, given them good access to adapted fruit trees. See http://vimeo.com/81355871
