"There's no doubt about it, the eart is getting hotter.  Learn how landscaping with pre-colonial native plants can help avoid some of the potentially catastrophic consequences of peak oil and climate change.  Some of the topics will include site analysis, designing your space, seed and  plant choices, working around problem spots, water conservation strategies, 
biodiversity enhancement techniques, rain gardens, permaculture, the importance of community organization and resources for further study. 
Regardless of your age or experience level, this is a class you won't want to miss!"
