Nashville Permaculture Action Day w/ Rising Appalachia

April 7, 2017 @ 10:00 am - 6:00 pm

Friday, April 7th 10am-6pm at Brooklyn Heights Community Garden
1830 Haynes St., Nashville, TN 37207

Join Rising Appalachia the day after the Cannery Ballroom show for a Permaculture Action Day at the Brooklyn Heights Community Garden. From 10am – 6pm we’ll be getting in the dirt, building, planting and dancing at this amazing community garden at 1830 Haynes Street in Nashville, Tennessee.

Rising Appalachia will be joining us in the morning before they head to their next show to dig some holes and deliver us a special treat.
 
Brooklyn Heights Community Garden unites residents and exposes participants to diverse cultural experiences while producing life-sustaining vegetables, fruits and herbs.
 
We’ll be building a rainwater catchment system off the shed, planting fruit trees and native shrubs, building up the raised garden beds, installing fences with living trellising and Willow, installing an irrigation system, building compost bins, and inoculating the garden with mushrooms.
 
Live bands and DJs will play throughout the day, and there will be workshops on Mushroom Gardening, Holistic Nutrition, Intro to Permaculture Activism, Yoga for Anatomical Empowerment, Permaculture for Social Change, Compost Tea & Soil Microbiology, and Permaculture for the Common Folk: The Reality of Running a Permaculture Business in Urban/Suburban Areas.
 

See below for full schedule of music, workshops, projects, and facilitator bios.

 We’ll have free food and water throughout the day, but please bring something to contribute to the potluck spread if you desire! There is a bathroom on site, and a kitchen to heat up dishes you bring and wash dish ware. Please bring your own dishes and utensils to eat from as much as possible; as well as a water bottle to stay hydrated, good work shoes and gloves, weather appropriate clothes, and any tools and materials we can use that day to complete the projects with many hands! Thank you!!

Shoe Drive:
Please bring shoes to donate (used or new) if you have them to spare!! Brooklyn Heights Community Garden will get the shoes to people who need them, and in the process will get funding for the garden!
