"Urban Permaculture" Film Evening Tues 9 April at 7:30
“Urban Permaculture” Film Evening, Tuesday 9 April, at 7.30pm
Alicetown Community Centre, 38 Victoria Street, Alicetown.
Join us to view and discuss Geoff Lawton’s movie, which focusses on the use of small spaces for growing food on permaculture principles. It takes us round a range of flourishing gardens, shows us some of the infrastructure used, and even shows us the beginnings of a makeover.
This DVD begins with a look at the possibilities of the urban growing environment and the madness of the traditional grass lawn.
From there, we’re taken through a variety of intensively managed Urban Edens. Backyards overflowing with life… medicinal herbs beneath fruit trees… lettuces and mints in planters… citrus trees managed as shrubs in a 1′ wide strip on a balcony… a swimming pool converted into a fish pond… plenty of eye-candy.
We also see quite a few irrigation and water reclamation systems, from roof-fed cisterns to swales dug across yards to catch rainwater. The re-use of graywater and the technology of solar pumps, filters, diverters, etc. are much more complicated than the scope of this DVD.
For a newbie… the DVD is a wealth of information… and for the expert, it’s a well of inspiration.
