 SAVE THE DATE

 The Home Grown Institute - Evolving Skills for a Sustainable Future presents

"Springing Good Intentions Into Action"

March 22-25, 2012, Schuylkill River Watershed (Philly area)

 

The Home Grown Institute distinguishes itself as COMMUNITY-Centered, SKILLS-Focused and no-nonsense ACTION-Driven. In addition to incredible programming, all registrants will get to take home either a rain barrel, a backyard composter or an Earth Box. (We're not kidding about the "action.")

 

 

REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS

 

Deadline to submit proposals is October 5th, 2011 (firm!)

 

Presenters are invited to submit proposals for activities addressing home-scaled sustainable practices - classes, field trips, conversations, demonstrations, contests, films, collaborative art projects - on subjects related to any part of the Compost-to-Compost cycle (compost, garden, harvest, kitchen, pantry, table, fork and back to compost)

 

An RFP with The Big Picture and The Details can be found at thehomegrowninstitute.org. The deadline to submit proposals is October 5th, 2011 (firm!). If you’d like us to remind you a few weeks before the October 5th deadline, send an email to admin@thehomegrowninstitute.org with “Remind Me” as the subject.
