PermaBlitz #1 will be held at an urban residence in Chico, CA. The location will be provided upon RSVP confirmation.

Due to space constraints at the Host site we can only open up this event to a limited number of Participants, please be sure to RSVP as soon as possible to ensure your spot!

We will be implementing several facets of a recently completed permaculture design for the PermaBlitz Host and site. This is a fabulous opportunity to learn how a permaculture design goes from design to implementation, using the power of our community! 

Projects:

  • Mulch pathways per design
  • Inoculate an existing fruit tree bed with Garden Giant (Stropharia rugoso-annulata) edible mushroom spawn and plant guild building plants
  • Build a trellis to grow Hops (Humulus lupulus) to shade greenhouse and house in summer

Activities:

  • Plant potatoes and other root crops in 5 gallon buckets
  • Build worm bins out of plastic totes
  • Trim Bay branches (Laurus nobilis), discuss its use and function
  • Make refreshing Switchel, a natural electrolyte drink

Extra Projects (as time allows):

  • Plant blueberries and other edible/pollinator plants
  • Build a tool organizer out of a pallet & learn how to repair tools
  • Build a wattle border for a garden bed out of grape vines

Cost

FREE! [You must RSVP to attend]
