Permaculture for the People — Becky Ellis
Permaculture, a form of ecological design aimed at turning spaces into self-sustaining eco-systems, can be an important tool for the creation of socially-just & ecologically regenerative urban commons. In this talk, Rebecca Ellis will explore the transformational possibilities of urban permaculture with a focus on several exciting projects in Toronto and London, Ontario, including the Dunn St. Food Forest in Parkdale.

If you like what you see, or simply wish to support our society, a recognized not-for-profit, membership is only $20 for 12 months. This fee helps us support community gardens and outreach activities around Toronto.
Plus, your membership entitles you to:
• Admittance to 8 insightful horticultural talks and meetings;
• Access to rare and unusual seeds, plants, and plant materials;
• Discounts at participating nurseries when you show your membership card;
• Special invitations and offers available only to members;

Members need not have their own garden or extensive knowledge of gardening, just an interest in plants, gardens, and gardening, in both private and public areas of the city. All manner of gardeners are welcome. Our members make gardens on roof-tops, apartment balconies, indoors, under glass and under lights, outdoors, and some only in their minds.
Our hope is to inspire you to grow and to help us carry on the tradition of bringing soul and serenity to Toronto. We believe that some things, like gardens, can cut through all boundaries and open the door to mutual understanding.
We hope you will join us!
