Good Morning! We hope you are enjoying the comforts of your new yardsI just wanted to pass along an invite for this coming Sunday's closing session of our "How To Grow Water" Permaculture Skills Training program! The plan is to start our closing ceremony around noon, the rough details of which can be found on the forwarded message below (including the address). We would love to see you if possible as we reflect on the work we've accomplished as a community :) Thank you so much and let me know if there are any questions in the meantime.

The months have certainly flown by and we are excited for what this weekend has in-store for everybody. Here is some information and reminders as we approach our final weekend: * The address for this weekend is 15 Fortrose Ct. San José, CA 95139. As always, please do not share the address with anyone outside the email. * Please arrive on-site at 9:30am and be sure to check the weather forecast ahead of time! Like previous workshops, we'll be outside for the duration of this weekend meaning hats, closed-toed shoes, and long pants are recommended. * We strongly recommend bringing gloves as well! * Coffee, breakfast, and lunch will be provided on both days. * Registration is still open if you know anyone who would like to attend! ( Link ,https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdNrmBQGSV3nU2mC9EAsKIdVymObBzNKYNcbVJMwQGk58yUzA/viewform, ) We have a closing ceremony planned on Sunday for all participants once we've finished implementing this weekend's design. This is a fantastic opportunity to celebrate and reflect on the community we've built together over the last few months and further solidify those connections. Here are some points of discussion we'd like you to start thinking about: * What did you learn from this program and what are some of your biggest takeaways * If you'd like to share a poem or an excerpt from a writing (i.e. a book or article) you find relevant to this program, we'd love to hear it! * Think of your favorite weekend - why was that your favorite project? * What are some of your favorite moments and memories with the individuals that you met here? * Has this program stirred any desire to jump into further areas of interest relating to permaculture? Lastly, please feel free to invite any family, friends, or significant others to our celebration on Sunday, which we expect to begin around noon! Smart Yards Education, Vital Cycles, and Valley Water in cooperation with all of our sponsors are looking forward to seeing you next weekend! If you have any questions, please reach out to victor@smartyardseducation or call/text Victor (408) 499-1058. Thank you!
