18th & Rhode Island
| 13 March 2009

At the corner of 18th & Rhode Island, a lot has remained vacant for many years. The Guild has been cleared to develop a thriving Permaculture Site there, and that is exactly what is happening! The site is intended to serve as a living classroom, permaculture demonstration, and production site.
The Summer 2008 PDC class at the Randall Museum was given the opportunity to design the site for their class project. Taking this design and through collaborative visioning, the guild will tweak the design and present it to the neighbors.
The class did an amazing job and their design presentation slideshow is posted below.
The project has been rolling along and we have transformed the space much to the delight of the neighbors.
Yields envisioned for the site include:
- food yield to share
- improved ecology
- living classroom
- tranquil space for gathering
- community building
Please contact us or stop by on Fridays for more details.
