Seeds & Sounds Fest

October 21, 2017 @ 8:00 am - 5:00 pm

Permaculture Action Network is happy to co-host the first SEEDS & SOUNDS FEST, presented by SacredHeart Water & Promise of Peace Gardens – Uniting Dallas/Fort Worth Artists, Musicians, Gardeners and other Community Organizations to Create a Sustainable Food Source.

Get connected on the Facebook event page here.  

Dallas, Texas is one of the wealthiest cities in the United States. Yet, nearly 500,000 residents live in poverty. A large portion of Dallas is a food desert. A food desert is an urban area in which it is difficult to buy affordable or good-quality fresh food. We would like to unite Dallas/Fort Worth artists, musicians, gardeners and other community organizations, to create a sustainable food source to provide fresh, healthy food for those of us in need.

The Plan: To create a permaculture-based, low maintenance, low-cost organic food source in Dallas, Texas. We will simultaneously have a live music event and enhance this garden in one day. The labor will be voluntarily provided by the concert-goers and the musicians.

Location: The Emanuel P.O.P. Community Garden – 4319 San Jacinto St. Dallas, TX 75204

Date: October 21, 2017 8AM-5PM

Cost: FREE

Outcome: Is a regenerative food and education resource within the Dallas community. Providing a location of nutrition, education, and awareness about our food sources and our community. Overall, increasing the well being of the community through nutrition, education and uniting as one to help the whole.

After The Event: Promise of Peace Community Gardens will be in charge of maintenance and food distribution as they have on going systems in place. This location will primarily supply the Emanuel Church Food Pantry Program that currently services about 65 families in Old East Dallas.
