Three Northampton neighbors decided to take their fences down and combine their yards to create a larger space for shared recreation and food production.

The Umass Permaculture Design course, taught by C3 collaborator Lisa DePiano of Montview Neighborhood Farm,  was tasked with coming up with designs that both meet the goals of the neighbors and regenerated the land. This Tuesday come see their presentation and tour the gallery of designs.

Permaculture is vision, design system, and global network that draws on patterns and principles found in nature to meet human needs, while regenerating the natural world and creating abundance we can share.
