October Permaclub — Garlic, Overwintering & Long-Term Planning
Permaclub at Hawkridge Homestead
A monthly day of shared farm labour, learning, and food systems practice.
Participants exchange time and care for hands-on knowledge, community, and—during harvest months—a share of farm produce.
Permaculture ethics: Earth Care · Fair Share
Principles in focus: Design for future generations
October’s work is forward-looking. Participants will plant garlic, finish greenhouse construction tasks, harvest storage crops, and amend soils for winter.
Garlic planting is framed as an investment in future abundance—work done now for a harvest many months away. This day emphasizes patience, continuity, and responsibility across seasons.
You’ll leave with: practical overwintering skills and a lived sense of long-term ecological planning.
