Growing Solutions’ August York joins Erik Ohlsen, Grover Stock and Ryan Johnson of Permaculture Artisans in a panel discussion Wednesday, September 9 at 3:15 pm in the Demeter Biodynamic Garden & Lounge.

From Drought to Deluge: Water Resilience for a Changing Climate
Resilience is the ability to shift from reaction to resourcefulness in the face of adversity. From drought to deluge, the dynamic weather of a changing climate invites us to take a more engaged role managing water in our landscapes. Playing on the fertile edge between Biodynamic agriculture and permaculture, this presentation offers a holistic approach for navigating the “new normal” of water. From backyard to broad acre application, we’ll share place-based strategies for transforming ecosystems that retain moisture when it falls and then economize it through dry periods. This approach is not about sacrificing productivity—it’s about wise design that does more with less.
