It's an innovative concept for those who like to grow their own food.
Tonight, Live-Food Nutritionist and herbalist Shantree Kacera comes to Woodstock to talk about creating a more sustainable food system.
Shantree says the concept is about growing perennial food plants in a forest-type setting.
There's not much cost or labour involved, and he says it's a type of project that's catching on amongst groups of people. "It's going to be from homeowners to small scale farmers or larger gardeners; so any where from a small backyard to five acres. And a lot of people are starting to do this more collectively, groups of people are coming together and tending to one piece of land so it's a cooperative".
If you want to learn more about the permaculture concept, head to the Quality Hotel and Suites tonight. Shantree's presentation starts at 7:00 p.m. It's a free event being hosted by the Woodstock Environmental Advisory Committee.
