The next meeting of the Westminster Park Gardening Club will take place on

Wednesday, 28 September 2011
7.45 pm
Community Centre, Westminster Park

Our speaker is Karen Atkinson and her topic is  ‘Permaculture and your garden’.

£3 entrance fee to include light refreshments. The bar will also be open.

Plant swap

Karen left a career as a law lecturer in 2009 in order to pursue a new career as an organic gardener, gardening tutor and permaculturist. She has recently started studying for her Permaculture Diploma and will be sharing a presentation of permaculture ethics and design principles, as well as showcasing some of the amazing and beautiful projects that such approaches can produce, and considering how it can be applied in the garden setting.

By observing the natural world we can see a set of principles at work. Permaculture design uses these principles to develop integrated systems that provide for our needs of food, shelter, energy and community in ways that are healthy and efficient. We can use these design methods to improve the quality and productivity of our individual lives, our society and our environment.

This is sure to be an enjoyable and informative evening and we look forward to seeing you all there.

There will be our usual plant swap and if you have surplus fruit or vegetable crops you can also bring these along to swap.

Kind regards

Mary Pole
