September Women Grow Meeting!

We will be discussing permaculture with Robbin and Ellen Pott of Pott Farms L3C

Learn How to incorporate permaculture principles into your cultivation practices!

Robbin and Ellen Pott will talk about how to apply permaculture principles to building a cannabis company. Permaculture is a philosophy about how to live in balance with the world. Permaculture principles provide a framework for making decisions that lead to sustainability and self-sufficiency. Pott Farms uses this framework to develop every aspect of their company. They will explain the permaculture approach to making decisions and use their work as examples of how to put these principles into practice.
