Welcome to the CGC website. A lot has happened in the last few months and we have all been super busy here (hence the lag in the update of the blog). One of the most visible changes is our website (your viewing our new website right now). The website is based on drupal and is very dynamic. It has been a lot of fun and a lot of work to create. The goal of the new website was to make easier for everyone to contribute yet powerful enough to have a dynamic front page, and a low maintenance events page. If you have any suggestions on how we could improve it, use the form at the contact us page.

Another exciting development is the Warmland Community Garden. Anyone who has driven on Beverily street lately will notice a structure. That structure is going to be a greenhouse, a community greenhouse. The greenhouse is a great first step in food security, allowing the growth of food in middle of winter. The green house being build and designed by Jason Greenwood’s team have incorporated permaculture design principles into the construction, ensuring the most efficient greenhouse possible.

The Seeds for Change Speaker Series is coming up as well (Feb 5 and 6). Percy Scheiser will be speaking Friday evening and on Saturday there will many workshops and forums discussing permacutlure. It is a huge event and we are all really looking forward to the great speakers we have for the events. Click here for more information.
