HARRISON HOUSE TO OFFER PERMACULTURE LECTURE

Harrison House Music and Arts is adding “Ecology” to its name, and as its first major event, it will host a three-day permaculture lecture in April. To prepare for the lecture, Harrison House is holding a work party today and tomorrow, in which those interested in permaculture will prepare the grounds for the lecture. Those interested in learning about permaculture can join members of the AmeriCorps Gold Team 2 on today, from noon to 5, and tomorrow, March 6, from 10 to 5. Under the guidance of seasoned permaculture designers, workers will create outdoor areas for living in harmony with nature. Managing editor Tami Roleff tells us more about the lecture in April…
