This looks really good, Josh Dolan and I are both into going to this on

> touch if you're interested.

>>> Dear People,

>>> We are holding another permaculture all-day seminar in
>>> Manhattan Sunday, January 28th and information is
>>> included. I have included a book list gathered at the
>>> event.
>>>
>>> I have also attached information from Hancock
>>> Permaculture on our upcoming modular permaculture
>>> course beginning first weekend in February. Please
>>> contact me if you are interested. You can find more
>>> information at http://www.hancockpermaculture.org or
>>> contact me by return email.
>>>
>>> There are other courses planned for spring in our
>>> region which will be announced at this event.
>>>
>>> Urban Gardening and Permaculture
>>> with Toby Hemenway
>>> Sunday, 28 January 2007 - 9:30 to 4:00.
>>> General Theological Seminary, 175 Ninth Avenue,
>>> Manhattan at 20th Street.
>>> FREE ($15 donation appreciated to help with speaker
>>> costs)
>>>
>>> Learn how to make urban gardening easier, and how
>>> urban gardeners in Los Angeles and Portland are
>>> creating ecologically sustainable gathering spaces
>>> using rooftops and water collection and turning lawns
>>> into gardens.
>>>
>>> Should NYC rely on food shipped from thousands of
>>> miles away?  Or should we prepare for higher
>>> transportation costs by growing more of our food in or
>>> near the City? Toby Hemenway, author of  "Gaia's
>>> Garden:  A Guide to Home-Scale Permaculture," will
>>> describe how permaculture design can be applied to
>>> meet urban food needs within city limits, eliminating
>>> the use of fertilizer, imported water, and long
>>> distance trucking.
>>>
>>> After obtaining a degree in biology from Tufts
>>> University, Toby Hemenway worked as a researcher in
>>> genetics and immunology.  Toby's dissatisfaction with
>>> the direction taken by biotechnology led to his
>>> interest in the ecological design approach to
>>> sustainable landscapes, homes, and workplaces known as
>>> permaculture.  After spending ten years creating a
>>> rural permaculture site in southern Oregon, Toby is
>>> now developing urban sustainability resources in
>>> Portland, Oregon He teaches at Portland State
>>> University and consults and lectures on ecological
>>> design throughout the country.
