A Permaculture garden is a landscape designed with edible and native plants in beneficial relationships, replicating a natural ecosystem.  It can be as orderly or as free-form as you like.  Each tree and plant in a Permaculture garden is located where its needs are best met so that it will be productive.  Rainwater is collected from sloped yards, rooftops and impervious surfaces in swales and rain gardens to irrigate useful plants and absorb excess stormwater.  A Permaculture garden uses polycultures, guilds and forest garden techniques to attract beneficial insects and repel pests, fix nitrogen and draw minerals up from deep in the soil.  By installing a permaculture garden you can help protect local streams and the Bay while simultaneously beautifying your yard and growing healthy organic food.  Come learn more!  For more information see:  http://www.heathcote.org/cms/content/introductory-workshop-permaculture-gardens.
