Is your yard flooded yet?! Do you want to learn how to direct that water back into the acquifer instead of into storm drains? Are you into fruit? Do you want to learn the cheapest way to grow fruit trees that are perfect for our climate? Do you like a deal? 2 for 1? How about an organic lunch and a fruit tree?

If you're thinking YES to all that, then please join us on Saturday, Feb. 6th for a day of hands-on training in Permaculture skills at The Learning Garden at Fort Bragg High School (300 Dana Street)!

Plus a fruit tree!
