LEARN FROM PERMACULTURIST, STEWARD, AND PASSIONATE GARDENER, TAJA WICKS

Wednesday, May 20th, 10 am

(at the Orcas Center or by Zoom)

JOIN US AT 9:30 AM (just before the program) for social time, and feel free to bring something for the Sharing Table!

Please join the Orcas Island Garden Club on Wednesday, May 20th when we welcome Taja Wicks for her presentation, What is Permaculture? A glimpse into her “Intro to Permaculture” workshop.

The talk will discuss what permaculture is and how you can learn to apply permaculture principles and ethics into our everyday life–such as viewing our gardens as ecosystems and our lives as the webs of relationships.

Taja Wicks grew up in Seattle and has spent the last seven years on Orcas Island, six of those years stewarding and learning from the bullocks permaculture homestead. During that time she took on many roles including Garden Manager and Nursery Manager as well as teaching workshops on many subjects that align with her passions.

She is a seed keeper, educator, grower, garden coach, permaculture consultant, fermenter, amateur plant breeder and biologist. She’s also a connoisseur of food and its preservation as well as an aspiring ethnobotanist, with a passion for nutrition and microbiology. She believes knowledge is power and power should be shared.

Taja is passionate about seed saving, food preservation, greenhouse growing, and incorporating flowers into a productive vegetable garden. All of these passions have driven her interest in permaculture.

The presentation will also be available via Zoom. For a link to the live Zoom presentation, please visit the Orcas Island Garden Club Events and click the link below the list of presentations.
