Catalina Avenue\, 85712\, 791-3257.\nTurn water scarcity into water abundance by welcoming rain into your life\, landscape\, and soil. This presentation shares techniques and strategies empowering you to create integrated water-sustainable landscape plans at home and in the community.\nRainwater harvesting is the process of capturing rain and making the most of it as close as possible to where it falls. By harvesting rainwater on the land – within the soil and vegetation\, or in cisterns that will later irrigate the land\, we can control erosion\, reduce flooding\, and minimize water pollution. Living in a world with a finite supply of fresh water that is increasingly polluted this practice becomes especially valuable.\nLiving on an eighth of an acre in downtown Tucson\, Arizona\, where rainfall is less than 12 inches annually\, Brad practices what he preaches by harvesting over 100\,000 gallons of rainwater a year. Brad and his brother Rodd have created an oasis in the desert by directing this harvested rainwater not off their property and into storm drains\, but instead incorporates it into living air conditioners of food-bearing shade trees\, abundant gardens\, and a thriving landscape that includes habitat for wildlife.\nBrad Lancaster is a permaculture teacher\, designer\, consultant and co-founder of Desert Harvesters (DesertHarvesters.org). Brad has taught programs for the ECOSA Institute\, Columbia University\, University of Arizona\, Prescott College\, Audubon Expeditions\, and many others. He has helped design integrated water harvesting and permaculture systems for homeowners and gardeners\, including the Tucson Audubon Simpson Farm restoration site\, the Milagro and Stone Curves co-housing projects.

All workshops will take place on site at 17 N. Linda Avenue\, in Barrio Menlo Park\, Tucson\, Arizona.\nFor more information and to register call Anastasia at 891-2503.\nWATER HARVESTING EARTHWORKS\nSaturday\, March 17\, 9 a.m. – noon\nPLANTING A PERENNIAL GARDEN\nSaturday\, April 7\, 9 a.m. – noon\nThe third and fourth workshops will be more hands-on as participants implement the concept design. Under the direction of Brad Lancaster\, author of Rainwater Harvesting for Drylands\, and Ann Phillips\, the group will build infiltration basins\, berm ‘n basins\, and other water harvesting earthworks and plant native and local heirloom vegetation.\nNOTE: Registration for each workshop is limited to 20 participants with priority given to Menlo Park residents. Fee: $30 per class\, payable to Menlo Park Neighborhood Association. Scholarships and work-trade available.

This can greatly lower water consumption and water bills\, while enhancing and beautifying your yard. We will discuss how to create greywater systems\, greywater-harvesting guidelines\, materials and suppliers\,\ngreywater-appropriate soaps and detergents\, marrying greywater and\nrainwater-harvesting earthworks\, and how to maximize your greywater-irrigated\nlandscape’s potential with passive solar design\, food production\, and oasis\ndesign. We will also discuss tax rebates for rainwater and greywater-harvesting\nsystems\, and view a slide show of different greywater systems. We will also\ndesign and install three greywater systems at the Pierson St Ecohood in\nNorth Central Phoenix\, giving you hands on experience so that you can install one\nyourself. Don’t miss this chance. Brad will also have copies of his book\navailable to sign plus we will have copies of the Oasis Greywater book\navailable. \nClassroom Portion: The classroom portion of the class will be held at\nFlorence-Crittenton Services\, 715 W Mariposa St\, Phoenix\, AZ (essentially\nCamelback and 7th Ave – a short walk from the Pierson St Ecohood)\, from 9am\nto 12noon. Mariposa St is between Pierson St and Camelback. Parking will be\navailable at Florence Crittenton Services\, and along both Mariposa and\nPierson Streets.
