Please join us at our next neighborhood meeting, on
Thursday November 5 at 6:30 at the McDoel Gardens Baptist Church. We will have a special guest,
Rhonda Baird, who will address
how we, as a neighborhood, can draw out a permanent sense of place and enhance it with things that really work for individuals -- like edible landscaping and home retrofits, but also communal centers for exchanging information/food/celebration/games, etc. She will also talk about resources and also how individuals can build resilient, sustainable homes that contribute to that neighborhood health we all want when we are invested in a place.
We will have the opportunity to brainstorm our own ideas for enhancing our community. Some neighbors have discussed the possibility of a community garden (we are McDoel
Gardens, after all), and one of our next guest speakers will be from the Green Acres Neighborhood Garden.
Bring your ideas, along with your friends & neighbors to the meeting. We want to hear what
you want to learn about in the upcoming workshops. From your input we will schedule the next speakers.
Rhonda Baird is a permaculture designer and teacher. She will be helping to teach a full permaculture design course over five weekends this fall and winter (beginning October 15-17). Contact Rhonda for more info: river_bird_1@yahoo.com
