Upcoming Events
Community Design Charette at the Cottage Grove Public Market
Tuesday, July 21 5:30-8:00pm
At the Cottage Grove Public Market, 926 E Main Street, Cottage Grove, OR, United States, 97424
Join Abel and Tao for an evening of community-based integrated design brainstorming for the outdoor space at the Cottage Grove Public Market.
We’ll go over some basics of Permaculture design, then apply those principles to a design process to come up with some ideas for making the outdoor space at the Public Market more diverse, beautiful, functional, and abundant! This event is free and open to anyone interested.
