🌿 Garden Tour & Potluck Lunch at Cathy Matthews’ Permaculture Food Forest
After a summer apart, let’s come back together for a special morning of reconnecting—with friends, food, and the rhythms of nature.
Join us at Cathy Matthews’ thriving 3-year-old permaculture food forest, lovingly cultivated on her one-acre lot in Pine Ridge. This flourishing edible landscape is filled with fruit trees, perennial vegetables, herbs, pollinator plants, and natural design elements that work together to create a resilient, self-sustaining ecosystem.
🌱 What to Expect
Cathy will guide us through her gardens, sharing practical insights into:
• Core permaculture principles
• Smart plant selection for resilience and yield
• Soil health and regenerative gardening practices
• How to create abundance—no matter your space
🌾 Start the Day with a Little Garden Love
Before the tour begins, we’ll spend a few minutes helping Cathy with a light weeding session. It’s a simple, hands-on way to give back to the space and connect with the garden from the ground up—literally! Bring gloves if you’d like, though not required.
🥗 Potluck Lunch to Follow
After the tour, we’ll gather for a community potluck lunch—a time to relax, share good food, and catch up with each other in the shade of Cathy’s trees.
✨ Please bring:
• A dish to share
• Your own plate, cup, and utensils (let’s keep it zero waste!)
🏊‍♀️ Optional Swim Time
Guests are welcome to enjoy a swim after lunch! Please wear modest swimwear out of respect for the host and fellow attendees.
