The Ojai Wine Festival is a Charity Event

The Ojai Wine Festival is the major fund-raiser for the

Rotary Club of Ojai-West

Of course there are other options: the Ojai Music Festival (OMF 6/12 review & Flag Day dilemna: hear music, taste wine, grow food, or make art? Part 1 no alcohol allowed although people sneak it in).

OR make art by silk screening t-shirts with the Ventura Bicyclists Union from 10:30-2:30 which I am hosting! Of course we will have wine and be playing music and talking about gardening and food coops so maybe you or I can have it all by making art! Comment below or email me for more details!

An Introduction to Permaculture Design

It calls upon patterns of nature, wisdom of the ancestors, and the cutting edge of science & technology to arrive at solutions for any problem that we face.
