"All the World's problems can be solved in the garden" 

Bill Mollison co-founder of permaculture

 

Food security, health of the planet and health of the people are issues that we address at the Joshua Tree Foundation for Arts & Ecology Center for home scale permaculture. 


Over the past seventeen years, we have engaged thousands of people with low-to-no-cost arts, culture, and ecology programs, promoting creativity, sustainability, and cultural development in our underserved rural community. Our program began as an artist residencies in the late composer, Lou Harrison's straw bale retreat. The world class musicians who have made a pilgrimage to Harrison House honoring the late composer often also perform assemblies for students in our local school system. Harrison House has provided a hub for international artists which in the past eight years blossomed into a gathering place for environmental activists as well. We expanded our site to an adjacent property creating an Arts & Ecology Center as a demonstration location for drylands permaculture.


We have opened our gardens to hundreds of school children and many more community members teaching them to treat the earth as gently as their own body because our planet is alive and it is she who sustains us. Watching the wide eyed amazement of a child pulling a carrot from the ground or opening a pod of peas and exclaiming "Oh this is where they come from!", makes what we do worthwhile along with our life changing permaculture courses that have had local and global impact.
