Northwest Permaculture Convergence

Join us May 7–11 at Global Earth Repair in Port Townsend to share meals, connect, and explore NW Permaculture Community Connection Circles — a conversation about renewing regional collaboration through participatory governance, restorative circles, and bioregional earth repair.

Permaculture is a design system that helps us live sustainably and work with nature. The 12 principles guide thoughtful action, starting with #1: Observe & Interact – taking time to watch and understand a system before making changes.

March 21: Join the Village Green Woods habitat restoration work party. March 28: Explore native plants on a guided walk at North Kitsap Heritage Park. Community-powered environmental stewardship in Kitsap County.

Swap seeds and gardening knowledge at the Snoqualmie Valley Seed Exchange on March 29 at Tolt Middle School. Bring seeds to share—or just come gather seeds for your garden, connect with fellow gardeners, and help keep local seed diversity growing.

Our garden is part school garden, part community garden, and part botanical garden—all made possible by volunteers and community support. Join us this season to help with food bank harvests, garden maintenance, and fun events! Volunteer orientations start Saturday, April 4, plus upcoming classes, Earth Day projects, and the Burien Garden Tour & Plant Sale.
