MOUNTAIN MEADOW FARM TOUR- FRIDAY, June 23, 5:30-6:30 pm.
Next tour of Mountain Meadow Farm Friday, June 23, 5:30 - 6:30 p.m. (For
a preview, visit our farm online at Flagstaffpermaculture.org)
The culinary, medicinal and tea herb spirals are growing nicely, alpine strawberries and bush fruits are producing delicious perennial edibles, the turkeys are gobbling, the chickens are laying and the ground cover demonstration garden is filling in nicely. Come join us to see what we're doing with permaculture,
indoors and out, and how you can incorporate sustainable systems to accomplish
your own food production and landscaping goals. We will have Jan's Nursery
plants for sale -- all are grown at the Farm without petrochemical pesticides
or fertilizers, using locally available and directly recycled materials
whenever possible, harvested rain water and water conserving production methods
and returning gray water to surrounding landscape.
Suggested donation $5.00 to $1000 to benefit THE NEW FLAGSTAFF YOUTH GARDEN AT NEW START SCHOOL. No one will be turned away for lack of funds.
