Join us in creating a more sustainable Phoenix!
Our mission is to inspire sustainable urban living through education, community involvement and creative cooperation.
Originally the Phoenix Permaculture Guild, we became the VPA in 2011 reflecting the reach of this growing community.
The term “permaculture” combines "permanent" + "(agri)culture" and addresses sustainability and interdependence of human and natural ecosystems.

Tired of making long road trips over the Memorial Day weekend? Are you planning a stay-cation for that weekend, and want to start it right with some food and learning? Come to Tempe for classes and some mesquite pancakes on Saturday, May 26th.
9:00AM (Saturday, May 26) our Pancake Breakfast will begin! Enjoy mesquite-flour pancakes and meet new like-minded friends. Participate in our local permaculture community to share resources, connections and experience in sustainable living.
We'd like to encourage those folks who do want to attend to come earlier than 11-11:30AM as seating is limited, and we'd like to make sure everyone gets fresh pancakes!
Tickets for this fundraising community event are $15. Children age 12 and younger eat free! FUN for the Whole Family!
Proceeds benefit the Valley Permaculture Alliance, a 501c3 education organization. Our thanks to our generous supporters -- Atlasta Catering!

At 1:00PM, walk off your healthy breakfast with a 6-block jaunt to Sea-of-Green Hydroponics for Kaesha Neil's class,Extending Your Harvest: Part III - Canning and Freezing.
