DESCRIPTION:The UCSC Common Ground Center is hosting an event with John Valenzuela on 
 February 8. In the Kresge Garden at twilight, this evening event will 
 feature a permaculture garden tour, potluck, slideshow, and discussion with 
 internationally-renowned horticulturist John Valenzuela. \n\nHow might we 
 have food resilience amongst climate uncertainty? What might we in 
 California learn from Cuba's pioneering initiatives in food and farming? 
 This November a delegation of permaculture designers, farmers, and global 
 citizens converged in Cuba for the 11th International Permaculture 
 Convergence to explore these questions, and discover solutions to our 
 collective problems. \n\nJoin John and other participants of the 
 International Permaculture Convergence in Cuba for a report-back slideshow, 
 followed by World Cafe conversations where we discover what collective 
 actions we might take to build thriving, abundant, and resilient food 
 systems in the face of an uncertain climate future. With the driest year on 
 record, and some of the coldest weather in the past 20 years, this seems 
 like a timely conversation.\n\nJohn Valenzuela is a horticulturist, 
 consultant and educator who has returned to his home state of California 
 after living in Hawaii for 15 years. While he has studied, practiced, and 
 taught permaculture extensively in the Hawaiian Islands, he is also a lead 
 or team teacher of permaculture courses at the Bullock Family Homestead in 
 Washington State and throughout California. His special interests are home 
 gardening, food forests, rare fruit, and other trees; traditional 
 agriculture, ethnobotany, and native ecosystems; and plant propagation. 
 \n\nThis event is sponsored by UCSC's Common Ground Center at Kresge 
 College. The mission of the Common Ground Center is to “create cultural 
 change for social justice, environmental regeneration and economic 
 viability”. The Center hosts a series of public lectures and workshops 
 based on this mission, as well as undergraduate courses, two themed 
 residence halls, and a range of student-led activities. A list of 
 subsequent talks, and more information, can be found at 
 kresge.ucsc.edu/commonground.\n\n“Thriving Resilient Communities: 
 Adapting to Climate Uncertainty from Cuba to California” with John 
 Valenzuela is Saturday, February 8, 2014. This event will be located in the 
 Kresge Seminar Room from 5 – 8 PM. It is free and open to the public. To
