This document provides a permaculture design proposal for a 12,000 square foot grassy lot. It outlines existing site conditions like slope, water flow, and surrounding buildings. The vision is to create a showcase site and living classroom to improve ecology, encourage community participation, and share yields. The design divides the site into zones for a greenhouse, annual/perennial vegetables, and fruit trees surrounded by a landscape. A plant list includes herbs, fruits, perennials, annuals, natives, and water plants. A timeline is proposed for organizing, soil preparation, planting, and maintenance. The estimated budget is $10,000-$15,000 to cover plants, structures like a greenhouse, and irrigation.

11. The Vision Permaculture Showcase Site and living classroom Improve the ecology of the area Encourage the school and local community to participate in the education, installation, harvest, and security of the site Share the yields with the community Create a warm, welcoming space where students, faculty, and the community can come together to grow fresh food and enjoy each other

17. Timeline Summer - Organize (funding; plant sources, talk to renters) November- Add 3-6 inches of mulch (cardboard, compost, mulch) to entire site. Plant in mulch-bell beans, clover, and purple vetch. let set for 5-6 months March (after one week with no rain)- roto-till entire site. construct greenhouse, urbanite paths, tree house, raised beds, fire pit, T.P., ponds, picnic tables, hammock, irrigation setup, worm bins, water tanks,shape beds, Let sit for 2-6 weeks; until soil is workable; start annual vegetable seeds in greenhouse, have natives and perennial food crops ready to install Late March- Early April- transplant native landscape, perennial food crops, and annual vegetable crops into site, Maintain over Spring, Summer & Forever

18. Budget Plants = 5,000 Herbs Fruits Perennial Vegetables Annual Vegetables California Natives Structural Additions = 5,000 Greenhouse fire pit picnic tables ponds worm bins hammock raised beds irrigation/water catchment treehouse T.P. urbinite water tanks Final Budget = 10,000 to 15,000
