The Edmonton Permaculture Guild hosts Permies at the Pub at the Yellowhead Brewery this Thursday, September 14th. The special guest speakers will chat you up about how to extend the harvest season with tips for canning and preserving, along with the information about the benefits of fermenting your summer food harvest. Meet cool people in the permaculture community. It’s exciting enough to curl your hair!
