An Evening of Permaculture
~ Pot Luck, Film Screening and Discussion
Join Transition Milwaukee for a screening of a new documentary by Donna Read and Starhawk.
Permaculture: The Growing Edge is an antidote to environmental despair, a hopeful and practical look at a path to a viable, flourishing future. The film introduces us to inspiring examples of projects, and includes a visit to David Holmgren’s own homestead, tracking deer with naturalist Jon Young, sheet mulching an inner-city garden with Hunters Point Family, transforming an intersection into a gathering place with City Repair and joining mycologist Paul Stamets as he cleans up an oil spill with mushrooms. We interview some of the key figures in the Permaculture movement, including David Holmgren, Penny Livingston-Stark, James Stark, Paul Stamets, Mark Lakeman, Dr. Elaine Ingham, Maddy Harland, and others.

Comment by Christie Mole on May 17, 2011 at 6:07pm Allie - you've got a good excuse! :) That sounds really exciting - you'll have to keep us posted on how you're permaculture course went.
Transition Milwaukee owns the movie, so if you're interested in borrowing or hosting the film some other time, let us know! Best, Christie
Comment by Allie Heeg Polzin on May 15, 2011 at 1:42am This sounds great! Wish I could join you but I'll still be at the permaculture design course in northern Wisconsin! I hope I can see the movie another time.
Peace.
