GARDENS OF DESTINY

GARDENS OF DESTINY in North Vancouver! GARDENS OF DESTINY is a production whose style is between An Inconvenient Truth and a classic documentary. The accent is placed on the communication of important facts, which arise from the central character, DAN JASON, of the SEED AND PLANT SANCTUARY FOR CANADA and 7 specialists in agriculture. GARDENS OF DESTINY explains why conventional agriculture in North America is dangerous for our collective future (food crisis?) and why organic local farming (or gardening) is better. The film starts from the premise that climate change is a reality and that the price of fossil energy is going to increase: this fact will have the effect of increasing prices generally and in particular the price of food. GARDENS OF DESTINY was screen in 35 cities in Canada. You are invited to see GARDENS OF DESTINY in August 2008: -In North Vancouver at the Harvest festival at the Lynn Canyon Ecology Center at 2:30 pm on Sunday, August 3rd. -info: 604-990-3756- www.GARDENSOFDESTINY.com demers276@hotmail.com

72 Hour Permaculture Design Course

Hello,
I would like to let you know about some upcoming events which address issues of sustainability. Toby Hemenway, author of the best selling Gaia's Garden- A Guide to Home-Scale Permaculture is coming to town. He is an articulate speaker on ecological design and permaculture. Permaculture is the use of ecology as the basis for designing integrated systems of food production, housing, appropriate technology, and community development. It is built upon an ethic of caring for the earth and interacting with the environment in mutually beneficial ways. With the many environmental concerns we face permaculture is timely and has some useful and fascinating insights into how we can think and design anything from our houses and backyards to our neighborhoods, businesses and cities. It began in the 1970s, originally being applied to the 20 acre homestead, but more and more the ideals, ideas and methods of permaculture can and are being applied to the urban and suburban ecologies. He offers both vision and practical solutions in his lectures and workshops. It would be wonderful if you could list the events below on your event calendar. Also, if you know of any other organizations or people who you think would be interested please pass this on.
Thank you,
Faith Van De Putte
