Wednesday July 8th 2009 at 7.30pm in Capel Memorial Hall.

Permaculture (a contraction of the words - permanent + agriculture) seeks to follow practices that do not damage and exhaust the soil, nor to rely on fertilisers and pesticides.

Its principles are based on close observation of natural systems, and on studying farming traditions in countries where crops continue to be abundant despite growing year-on-year on the same soil.

A speaker from the flourishing permaculture movement in Brighton will describe in detail these basic principles and show how they can be applied to gardening and vegetable-growing.

Learn how to enrich your soil, reduce the hard work of digging, increase your mulching and conserve moisture.

Refreshments available. All welcome.

Tickets £4.00; members of Capel Goes Green £2.00
