Sustainable City Living, Bringing It Home

In preparation for the 8th Annual 2018 Sustainable Backyard Tour, ReVitalize St. Louis is organizing an evening of insight and discussion with several city leaders who are helping to rebuild the city's permaculture. They will present their current work via short presentations and open floor discussions to help grow your knowledge and awareness of how you can transform your personal living space, be it a large back yard, a side lot, or a tiny balcony into the private agricultural ecosystem of your dreams.Moderator: TERRY WINKELMANN   Founder of St. Louis Sustainable Backyard Tour Panelists: CARA SPENCER           Alderwoman for the 20th Ward & Sponsor of Homesteading Bill MATT LEBON               Custom Foodscaping MITCH LEACHMAN      Audubon’s Backyard Certification program ROB KENNEDY           Project Clear & MOBOT Rainscaping program Venue: BRICK RIVER CIDER COMPANY is St Louis’ first dedicated ciderworks.  They are committed to crafting great hard cider made from fresh pressed Midwestern fruit.  Brick River Cider is named to honor the connection between the City of St Louis and its connection to the regional rural communities.  They continue that tradition today bringing the fruits of the region back to the city, and crafting authentic hard ciders to celebrate with our friends and family.
