ON THE GROUND UPDATE:Winter EVENTS with UMass Permaculture

​Although the gardens on campus are closed for the season, UMass Permaculture is still hosting some exciting educational events to wrap up this semester:a film screening of Fresh, and a Handmade Holiday Gifts workshop! ​Both will be free and open to the campus community! 

​Fresh is an uplifting, critically acclaimed documentary that explores our current food system and ways to eat like a locavore even in a Massachusetts winter. The film peers into the hopeful world of sustainable agriculture. The film screening will be held on Monday, December 5th in the Berkshire Room located in Berkshire Dining Commons from 5pm-7pm and will follow with a short discussion afterwards.

UMass Permaculture also welcomes you to hand make customized holiday gifts on Monday, December 12th from 5pm-7pm in the Hampshire Lobby Meeting Room located in Hampshire Dining Commons. These gifts will include sugar scrubs, soaps, lip balms and sachets - all using herbs grown in the five permaculture gardens! Personalize your handmade gifts at the event's wrapping and decorating station.
