FOOD DAY Film Viewing
Food Day inspires Americans to change their diets and our food policies. October 24 is a day to resolve to make changes in our own diets and to take action to solve food-related problems in our communities at the local, state, and national level. The most important ingredient in Food Day is you! Use October 24 to start—or celebrate—eating a healthier diet and putting your family’s diet on track. Food Day is not just a day; it’s a year-long catalyst for healthier diets and a better food system. Let’s use this energy to make a meaningful and long-lasting difference!
Suburban Permaculture Garden Tours
Join us for a summer of Suburban Permaculture Garden Tours!
Be inspired to start your own suburban permaculture garden, by touring existing ones! This summer we are showcasing four unique approaches to integrating permaculture into the suburban landscape aesthetic. Come to one garden tour or all of them to discover new ideas for your own garden.
On Thursday, June 16th visit an Edible Landscape in south Naperville. Dennis Corbin is a retired Landscape Contractor with a passion for edibles. His permaculture garden combines the traditional suburban aesthetic of lawn and ornamentals with annual and perennial edibles. See mature fruiting shrubs & trees, including two paw paw trees!
