Starting to shape the agenda

With registrations rolling in - we are starting to get a better sense of the agenda.  We are planning workshops and conversations to happen based on what the people who come want to learn and what knowledge resides in the group that shows up so really, the agenda will evolve and form as we come closer to the date and will only be final (likely) over the weekend itself. 


THAT SAID.... here's some things we see happening:


-  Compost toilet making:  those interested should arrive by 2pm on Friday afternoon as we'll make the toilets for the weekend as well as discuss and share various models and options for toilets.
-  The Soil Doctor! We'll kick off Saturday with a keynote presentation to the whole group from Doug Weatherbee, Certified Soil Foodweb Advisor
-  Raising and working with Chickens: there's much interest from the registered participants and we've got lots of chickens around (layers and broilers) so this is a sure-fire topic for the weekend.
- We're thinking to run an introduction to permaculture session (2-3 hours) for those who are 'new' so don't be shy if this is your first taste of permaculture.  
- We're also looking into having an introduction to holistic management, as this has been suggested by some registered participants.


And there will be much more - don't worry - we just wanted to let you know what's starting to bubble up.


We've had lots of rain and some sun these last few days so the garden is growing well - which we look forward to sharing with you as well.
