Featuring Braden Trauth, Assistant Professor of Industrial Design
UC College of Design, Architecture, Art and Planning

Humans are the most impactful Keystone Species on Earth. Mutualism is when one organism benefits all others. Permaculture Design can empower humans to heal ecological destruction while providing for the needs of humans and all living beings all at the same time.

Mutualistic Design builds on both concepts by focusing on guiding humans to enhance the Earth’s productivity of our primary producers (plants) through diverse resilience and systems design, while mimicking them in our built environments and products, enhancing energy and resource independence.

How can Permaculture be transformative? If we want to live more sustainably on Earth, must we transition from being Consumers into being Producers?  

Educational Forum will be held Monday, May 11, 1:30-2:30 PM at Nightingale Montessori, 2525 N Limestone St, Springfield, OH 45503

This event is a special preview for our upcoming Permaculture Design Certification Class at Nightingale Montessori this July. If you are interested in a deeper exploration of permaculture, learn more about the class here.

Growing berries is one of the easiest ways in this area to ensure fruit production and reduce your grocery bill.  Those clams of berries at the supermarket are not getting any cheaper!

Doug Crouch (bio) joins us for this spring workshop. Learn the different growth habits of classics like raspberry and blackberry while also getting excited about underutilized ones like honeyberry and gooseberry.  We will examine plant layers, trellis construction, and ongoing maintenance.  From how to get started to practically growing season long harvest, this course will accelerate your growth. 

PLUS! Get 10% OFF your purchase of berry plants from the nursery after the workshop!

$40. Pay ahead of time online or bring cash or check to the event. Questions? Email cpinursery@gmail.com. Outdoor events are subject to weather conditions and may be rescheduled if needed.

Help CPI begin a deep clean and refresh of one of our new properties in East Price Hill!

This site at the corner of Enright Ave. and 8th St. was previously the home of a pub, and along with getting rid of the liquor license, we’re working on “un-pubbing” the first floor in the interest of transforming it into a useful community space.

This will be a day of sweat equity and elbow grease - come prepared to clean, sort, sweep, remove shelves and wall fixtures, move furniture… this is our first stab at the place since acquiring it, so the to-do list will be TBD.

!!! PLEASE NOTE FOR YOUR SAFETY !!! The building and outdoor lot have stood vacant for some time. Volunteers are advised to wear closed-toed shoes and gloves, particularly outdoors, as there may be sharp objects and other unknown hazards uncovered during cleanup. It is not advised to bring young children or pets to the site at this time. All volunteers participate at their own risk.
