> Permaculture is a design discipline for productive systems such as  
> gardens, farms, homesteads, and urban sites utilizing ecological  
> principles found in natural systems. These ecological principles  
> combined with a design method help to create sustainable, healthy  
> abundant landscapes while meeting basic human needs. Permaculture  
> has become a cutting edge design alternative to industrial systems  
> that erode the wealth of communities and natural resources.

> Carpooling from several towns around Central NY is being organized  
> on our website. Anyone interested in more information or a  
> scholarship application can visit the FLPCI website at  
> FingerLakesPermaculture.org or call (607) 527-0607.
