Portland Permaculture Guild
From PIW
We are an informal group interested in learning and promoting permaculture in the Portland, Oregon area. Permaculture is a system of conscious, sustainable, ecological design. See the glossary for more information.
We hold free monthly educational meetings that are open to everyone the 3rd Monday of each month. We offer classes, workshops, and other activities as time and public interest warrant. In addition to permaculture gardening techniques, we explore topics such as water catchment systems, ponds & greywater systems, earth-friendly structures, and alternative energy sources. We also provide networking information about other local groups that you can contact for more information about these topics.
We form partnerships with other organizations to promote sustainability education and implementation in our region, and welcome inquiries from any group with similar goals.
We are also interested in creating permaculture demonstration sites in the Portland area. If you know of a good potential site, we would be happy to discuss it with you! An ideal site would have wide public access and a volunteer support base.
