<DIV><FONT size=4>Join us for a weekend journey to explore the basics of
the permaculture design process. Participants will work on a permaculture
design for a central Oklahoma City urban property. The group will be
divided into teams, each of which will have a specific aspect of the design to
prepare. The instructors will be Dan and Cynthia Hemenway, of Elfin
Permaculture, a project of the Barking Frogs Permaculture Center in Florida.

<DIV><FONT size=4>The workshop has 3 components: (1) an introductory slide
show which applies permaculture to many different areas, (2) Classroom work,
with a broad spectrum of discussion, and (3) design work, which will be
focused on an urban property. Following the workshop, on Sunday afternoon,
there will be a time for participants to ask questions about their own
projects. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>Participants must submit a one page information sheet about
themselves, and a one page description of their permaculture project. This
information will be shared with the other students in the
workshop. Students are expected to attend all sessions of the weekend
workshop; the Sunday late afternoon discussion of personal projects is
optional. There is a list of required readings that must be completed
before the workshop begins. Although the design work will focus on an
urban property, people with properties in rural and suburban areas will learn
much that can be useful for their own design projects.</FONT></DIV>
