As part of our little business, http://grown-up-permaculture.com/, we have been giving a series of free Gardening/Permaculture classes to the NYC community. Our last class on thursday generated a huge showing, close to 40 people attended! We taught the basics of gardening design, permacultural tips, and of course some detailed instructions on container and watering systems design. My hope is to teach as many people as possible the knowledge of producing their own food in small urban spaces. With massive increases in food and gas prices, the economic conditions of this city may get a bit worse before it gets better. Everyone who are feeling the pinch at the grocery store should be thinking of starting their own garden. By regaining a small measure of food self-sufficiency, we can go a long way towards saving some money and bettering our health!
