Permablitz

People are doing good things.

What is a Permablitz?

Permablitz (noun): An informal gathering involving a day on which a group of at least two people come together to achieve the following:

  • create or add to edible gardens where someone lives
  • share skills related to permaculture and sustainable living
  • build community networks
  • have fun

Permablitzes are free events, open to the public, where you learn a lot, share food, get some exercise and have a wonderful time.

We've Been Blitzed!

On Saturday, May 25, 2010, Transition Houston had our first permablitz at the home of John & Sarah Gonzales.

John & I were introduced to the concept of a permablitz when my brother Charlie Lindahl (aka Cyberchuck) attended the kick-off meeting for Transition Houston in July 2009 and was the winner of a drawing for the first ever Houston permablitz! He was gracious enough to offer it to us when he decided he couldn’t use it and the rest is history.

So… we were the recipients of Houston’s first “permablitz”. Just look at how much fun we had!
