www.permacutlureartisans.com - Erik Ohlsen takes you on a tour of an
edible oasis he created on a 1/3 acre asphalt lot, encouraging you to
think about sustainable living for small-town and suburban life. In the
face of drought, fire, peak oil, energy depletion, soil depletion and
more, what can you do to live a more eco-friendly life?
The Permaculture Neighborhood Center - Permaculture Artisans,
It's hard to believe this magical permaculture food forest used to be an
asphalt parking lot 3 years ago. Fruits, vegetables, berries, medicinal
and cooking herbs all flourish here in abundance.
Welcome to The Permaculture Neighborhood Center in Sebastapol, CA, where
a group called the Permaculture Artisans transformed this space.
Founder and owner Erik Ohlsen proudly describes the vision: "A
neighborhood center that can not only support the food and medicine
needs of the community, but be a gathering place to learn about how we
can take urban lots - asphalted, cemented, pesticide ridden lots - and
turn them into edible oases."
The group incorporated soil fertility systems, roof water catchment and
other innovative permaculture techniques. They created "water abundance
by design", by creating a pond to circulate water and to attract
beneficial insects and other creatures to the environment. They have
grafted living trees together to create "fences".
Take the tour in this video and pick up a wealth of information on
permaculture techniques for how to resurrect abundant plant life from a
dead parking lot space. With this design approach, nature takes it's
course and each year you "do" less and less, while more and more grows.
This video shows us it's possible!
