In the North Lawndale neighborhood on Chicago’s west side, a story of regeneration is unfolding. Through the transformation of vacant lots into accessible green spaces that employ the techniques of permaculture, community members are growing food, finding healing, and creating a safer and healthier environment. This remarkable lecture will explore the principles and ethics of permaculture and how they have been applied successfully in North Lawndale and beyond. Ultimately, it is a story about the power of community in the process of regeneration, transforming itself to create permanent culture and permanent agriculture for all its residents.
