A permaculture webinar in 2020 will blossom into the real deal at St. Barnabas's Episcopal Church on May 27 when volunteers will tear up a lawn and replace grass with native plants and fruit trees.
The effort will turn a 2,500 square-foot grassy area near Siders Pond into one rich with food and flowers to sustain animals and humans.
The garden centers on three ethical principles, according to Becky Vaus, administrative assistant at St. Barnabas's: earth care, people care, and fair share.
