Permaculture Solution Series: Rain Gardens

Preserving the Harvest: Lacto-Fermentation

During a good rain or winter melt, some homes are hit with thousands of gallons of water that can quickly build momentum and cause flooding and drainage issues, sometimes washing out gardens and flooding basements. What is the solution? Discover the permaculture approach to rain gardens. Get the skills to design and build rain gardens that accept stormwater runoff that recharges your groundwater, provides habitats and food for wildlife (including bees and butterflies), and adds a near maintenance-free, aesthetically pleasing garden installation to your yard for very little money. This workshop will also show you how to choose native plants to populate your rain garden.

Make the most of late summer’s bounty of fresh produce by learning how to preserve vegetables through the simple, traditional method of lacto-fermentation. You’ll prevent food waste and be able to eat locally all year. The health-enhancing bacteria of lactofermented foods place them among probiotic foods. Together, we will make sauerkraut and other fermented veggies. We’ll also discuss the healing qualities and nutritional importance of live-culture foods. You will bring home a jar of sauerkraut and a booklet with instructions and recipes for dozens of fermented foods that you can easily create at home.

The Kitchen Grocery: Growing Microgreens

Want to take living green to the next level? It doesn’t take much effort to live a homesteading life, even in the suburbs or a modest living space in the city. This workshop will cover topics from gardening, canning, solar systems and chickens to wild crafting, harvesting, cooking, homemade cosmetics, gray water systems, permaculture and much more. You’ll also learn how to save money, grow closer as a family, supplement income from home and produce some of the best food you have ever tasted.

Microgreens are an essential part of the kitchen grocery. Tiny as they are, these young plants pack remarkably intense flavors, vibrant colors, interesting textures, and are absolutely bursting with nutrients. Now you can grow your own at home, inside, all year long. This workshop will show you the necessary equipment to grow, care for and harvest microgreens. You’ll also receive a brief introduction to how to use them, seeds and soil medium, and a variety of handouts. Turn an ordinary meal into something gastronomically delicious with your homegrown microgreens after attending this workshop.

HOME & LIFE The Kitchen Grocery: Buy Once, Grow Forever

Crafting Leather Belts

The kitchen grocery is a term that describes growing food inside your home kitchen all year round. Since good quality food is expensive, it makes sense to acquire the knowledge necessary to reduce your grocery bills, improve your nutrient intake and maintain a fun project. While it may be unlikely that you can completely eliminate a grocery bill, you can grow certain foods in a most special way: regrowth. From upcycling basil stems to regrowing celery, a little effort can go a long way. Discover the tricks and learn the steps of regrowing. You will take home a few goodies to get you started.

Add leatherwork to your skill set after crafting a high-grade leather belt. You’ll cut a belt blank, straight from the hide, then naturally dye it brown or natural. After sizing it, you’ll punch holes, add a buckle (many to choose from), finish and burnish the edges and then add custom design. With limited enrollment, this workshop is perfect for novices.

HEALTH CARE, HUMAN AND SOCIAL SERVICES ADMINISTRATION AND INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY Patient-Centered Care and CQI: Keys to Success in Today’s Health Care Provider Model Under today’s health care reform, there are many choices, new models of care such as the accountable care organization, and incentives for providers to improve quality, safety and the patient/ caregiver experience. As a result, it is critical that all health care providers move to a patient-centered care model. In this interactive workshop, you will gain empathy and come to value the importance of a personal relationship with patients, as you learn what matters most to them. You’ll also examine the obstacles to patientcentered care, how to overcome them as an individual, and discover the strength of teamwork. This training is beneficial to health care administrators, managers, nursing and caregiving staff of all disciplines.
