All the world’s problems can be solved in a garden. 

That’s a quote that gets tossed around in permaculture circles. A lofty saying, for sure, but creating a garden leads to all sorts of good things: food, shade, beauty, connection to nature, support for pollinators, and on. 

The CBE community is coming together to build a permaculture garden in the area around our buildings. Featuring fruit trees, native flowering plants, places to sit or chat, and safe learning and play areas for children, the garden will be a place for multi-generational collaboration and gathering, for ritual, e.g. Sukkot, and to set up a chuppa.

This may not solve the world’s problems, but for our little world here it’s at least a start! And we can hold and amplify the larger intention of Tikkun Olam. 

We are aiming to have a basic structure up in time for Rosh Hashanah. And stay tuned—there will be plenty of opportunity to get your hands in the dirt!

If you would like to get involved, please contact the office. The next meeting will be Sunday, September 14 at 12:30pm in the Social Hall.  Learn more here

Donations needed: stones and rocks approximately 8" diameter. Please bring rocks to the Social Hall and place on the Rock Landing Cardboard in the backyard.
