Pittsburgh Winter 2010

PERMACULTURE DESIGN COURSE

Presented by Three Sisters Permaculture Design

Permaculture on the Edge: Please join us as we explore, design, and apply Permaculture Design at this unique location. Lipp Homestead is a 1.3-acre site in West View, two miles from the City line and just off 279N. A 5000 sq. foot organic garden space, stream, and original 1898 farmhouse and dairy house are what remains of the Lipp family farm. Course participants will work to increase the sustainability of the site through the application of ecological design principles and practices. A day will be spent at Three Sisters Farm and Bioshelter.
