Wisconsin Garden Expo "here I come!"

I received a thick envelope today - and it had all this cool stuff in it!

• name tag
• 2 entrance tickets
• 2 grounds entry permits (not sure what I'll do with those)
• map
• letter

I'm presenting twice, Saturday, Feb. 14, 4:45 p.m. and Sunday, Feb. 15, 2:15 p.m.

The business card at the bottom of the image below is the front and back of the new cards I had printed for the Expo so I could hand it out and - hopefully - get some new subscribers!

Presenting at the Wisconsin Garden Expo

I attended the Wisconsin Garden Expo for the first time last year. From a class I attended during the Expo, I wrote a post from my phone where I pretty much yelled at all my friends for not having told me about this AMAZING mid-winter event. I immediately decided I wanted to present at the event, and was encouraged to do so by several of my Madison Area Permaculture Guild buddies.

I sent a proposal in last autumn, and heard in December that my proposal had been accepted! I'm presenting twice, and invite YOU to join me at one of them.

TITLE: Use permaculture principles to design an urban orchard that stores water, reduces work and build community.
DESCRIPTION: Design an orchard on an urban lot using permaculture principles to catch and store massive amounts of water; obtain a bountiful yield from a diverse collection of fruit trees, bushes and herbs; add beauty; build community and reduce waste, work and energy consumption.

TIME and LOCATION
Saturday, Feb. 14, 4:45 - 5:45 p.m., Mendota 5
Sunday, 2:15 - 3:15 p.m., Monona/Wingra

Wisconsin Garden Expo presentation

Several months ago I submitted a proposal to the Wisconsin Garden Expo for a presentation titled,
"Use permaculture principles to create an urban orchard, store lots of water and build community."

I'm pleased to announce the proposal was accepted. I will present twice at this annual gardening extravaganza:
Saturday, Feb. 14, 4:45 p.m.
Sunday, Feb. 15, 2:15 p.m.

These times may/may not change, but if you're interested in either seeing the presentation or simply going to the Expo, save the date. Here's a recap of what I thought of the expo when I went for the first time last year.
