Operation Fruit Rescue Orchard Design Charette
OFRE and the Edmonton Permaculture Guild invite all interested in fruit, permaculture, and community to come and join a design charrette updating and modernizing the Mirco Orchard Master Plan located at the Multi-cultural health brokers building (formerly known as the McCauley School)
The original design was completed in 2014, with improvements conducted over the past 4 years. To Celebrate the orchards 5th year, we aim to build more bridges, and holistically engage the community, while at the same time providing improvements to the orchard to ensure that it becomes a thriving piece of landscape architecture rooted in permaculture principles and a jewel to the McCauley community.
If you are a permaculture enthusiasts, planner, landscape architect, and/or a community member, we invite you to come participate in this half-day workshop on Saturday, March 10th from 9:00 am – 12:00 pm at Group2 Architecture Office 10150 100th Street NW (9th floor).
