What a great time

Okay, so it was only a half hour workshop. But it was a lot of fun! Sunday we went to the Guelph Wellington Local Food Fest at Ignatius (see below blog).

The main reason for going was to do a workshop. Well, I was doing the workshop while Tim provided moral support in the audience.Presenting a brand new idea to a group of people is always nerve-wracking. I was really nervous about this as it is a personal project that is close to my heart.

We arrived at the Fest and saw a huge stage with microphones, speakers, and the presenters wearing headsets. I really hoped that I wasn't going to be up there as my little pad of paper wouldn't have been much good. Luckily that isn't where I was presenting. I was going to be tucked away in the back of the festival in a much smaller, and more intimate tent. I was very relieved when I saw that. I told Heather, the woman in charge of the tent I was there and proceeded to wait. Angelica from Transition Guelph gave a great presentation about what Transition Guelph does. Virgini, the Treemobile founder, also did a little presentation about the Treemobile.

Suddenly I was up in front of people and away. It went really well and there was a lot of interest in the $100 Food Forest.It felt really good to be able to tell people about permaculture and have them enjoy and understand it. Thanks to everyone that was there!

I can't wait to have the full length course! I am looking for a good weekend in the near future.

Gremlins running around here

It seems we are having some issues with our website because someone fed the gremlins after midnight. We aren't quite sure where the issue is but we're working it. If you want to get a hold of us we really like the telephone too!
