The Hailey Public Library is staging an encore presentation of “Introduction to Permaculture Part 2” at 5:30 p.m. Monday, Sept. 13.

The presentation will be held on Zoom. RSVP to Kristin.fletcher@haileypubliclibrary.org

It will feature Amy Mattias, certified permaculture designer and program director for the Sun Valley Institute for Resilience. She will discuss ways to integrate permaculture principles into daily life and answer design questions about participants’ specific projects.

Mattias recently received a Permaculture Design Certification through Earth Activist Training, a Permaculture Institute of North America certified program. Over years of gardening, she has incorporated many permaculture principles into her personal garden as well as in her life as a whole.

Aside from her gardening hobby, Amy is a food system reformist, spending her career building a stronger and resilient regionalized food system in southern Idaho.
