PGE along with Wiggy and Next Seven Farm are hosting a convergence of permaculture minds.  The location is a beautiful work-in-progress nestled in a hollow in Colliers WV about 30 miles west of Pittsburgh.  Isaac (Wiggy) is working to rebuild 5 greenhouses, plant orchards, and protect the natural order.  His vision is of a place where people can gather, get their hands dirty, and learn the homesteading life first hand.

We will Start at 9am on March 27 with a full day of talks, hikes, and permaculture projects until 5pm.  Later on that night we'll have a bonfire and hang out.  Bring your instruments or drums.  Food is POTLUCK.  Cost is DONATION.  All proceeds will go to admin, supplies, and a keg of local beer for the night.  Feel free to come for the day or night or both.  Indoor/Outdoor camping space is available.

To RSVP or for questions and directions email: PittsburghGardenExperiment@gmail.com

Topics covered will include but are not limited to:

  • Wild Edibles
  • Maple Syruping
  • Growing Mushrooms
  • Forestry
  • Water Management
  • Aquaponics
  • Greenhouse Production

Here's a video of Isaac's farm a few years ago.  It has changed a lot even since then!
