IDEAS FROM OUR VISIONING SESSION
If you would like help create The AREA by implementing your project or making any of the ideas below HAPPEN, please contact us !
Note for food producers/gardeners: A primary component of the permaculture garden at The AREA is to share knowledge. A garden plot is free to any group whose proposal meets the minimum sharing requirement that incorporates meetings or workshops on site. Facility rental rates are $40.00/hr (discounts for full day rental and members). We encourage your group to charge a small fee for your workshops and to place a prominent sign at your garden plot with a description of your gardening project. Young and old visitors of The AREA are proving to be enthusiastic learners of all things growing.
