In the Maritime Northwest, it is possible to grow all our own food year-round
with limited time to establish a system and limited effort. As petroleum
becomes more expensive, this sort of system can provide an example to support
our evolution to a more sustainable society. Marisha Auerbach specializes in
how to convert properties from grass to to a perennial forage system. A
perennial forage system functions much like a natural ecological system, and
yields year round produce with minimal work. These systems are developed to
meet the needs of the inhabitants on site. Marisha provides most of her diet
and income from her garden and has surplus produce and crafts to give away and trade for other supplies.
This presentation is an invitation for you to visit Marisha's garden through
slides and philosophy. She will be discussing how you can work towards
self-reliance in produce if you have property to work with as well as
guerrilla tactics to grow more food and flowers in the greater Olympia area. As
petroleum becomes more expensive, fruits, vegetables, and other goods will become increasingly more expensive to transport into residential areas. This workshop offers an opportunity to create cultural change through gardening.
