The Grayson Permaculture Community is interested in learning more about permaculture and working collaboratively on a food forest garden project with LandCare and the Church of the Good Shepherd.
A little about our founders:
Cynthia and Rick Taylor brought Permaculture as a framework for gardening and an overall principle for sustainable living to Grayson LandCare in 2016. The Permaculture garden and food forest at Church of the Good Shepherd have provided produce to Food Independence and God’s Storehouse in Galax, as well as a habitat for pollinators and native plants. It is a model for home and production gardeners alike and a living classroom for habitat improvement and rainwater control. Volunteers have donated over 5,000 hours, and more volunteers are always welcome.
Interested in joining the Grayson Permaculture Community?
We offer several workshops and host public events throughout the year, as well as workdays at the COGS Food Forest Garden. Email Cynthia@graysonlandcare.org or join our Facebook Group for more information
Join us to continue growing the Food Forest and pollinator garden at Church of the Good Shepherd in Galax.
