Gateway Technical College will offer a precursor to its Celebrate Earth Day event a couple days early by hosting the Permaculture Initiative of Kenosha event 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. April 19 at the Pike Creek Horticulture Center on the college’s Kenosha Campus, 3520-30^th Ave.

“The group is focused on promoting permaculture in the community – beginning with our own yards,” said Kate Field, Gateway Horticulture instructor and certified permaculture designer. “Our aim is also to form friendships with like-minded folks and have fun.”

The event schedule includes a tour of the horticulture center and a general meeting to discuss summer activities, which include creating pollinator way stations.
