LAKEPORT, Calif. – On Friday, Aug. 5, Watershed Books will celebrate the publication of “Tending the Soul's Garden: Permaculture as a Way Forward During Difficult Times,” by Denise Rushing.

The event will take place from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. at the store, located at 305 N. Main St., Lakeport.

According to the book, “Permaculture provides a design framework for empowerment and action: cultivating inner wisdom and gifts, honoring the wisdom of nature and engaging in the world as nature does.

“Permaculture ethics, intentions and principles can be applied to the garden, the farm, and indeed any living system including human structures.

“Tending the Soul's Garden is an introduction to applied permaculture and how it can help us engage in difficult and sometimes over-whelming work with a sense of balance, hope and purpose.”

Rushing, who lives in Upper Lake, is serving her second term on the Lake County Board of Supervisors. She is an environmental engineer, organic grower and permaculture designer.
