The Wellington Garden Club will hold its monthly meeting on Monday, Oct. 2 at the Wellington Community Center, located at 12150 W. Forest Hill Blvd. The meeting will feature a presentation on permaculture at 10 a.m. by George Soria, a healthcare advocate and entrepreneur who is chairman and founder of the South Florida Permaculture Resource Center.
Soria has an extensive professional career in healthcare and believes that permaculture, an agricultural method that seeks to integrate human activity with natural surroundings, holds the key to restoring harmony with nature, establishing a self-sustaining world and fostering holistic well-being.
With a strong emphasis on education, the Permaculture Resource Center, a division of the nonprofit organization 47 Million Reasons Healthcare Movement Inc., addresses all crucial aspects of life, meeting the fundamental needs for a healthier body, mind and soul.
The community is invited to join the club for coffee and a plant raffle beginning at 9:30 a.m. Visitors are asked to check in at the guest table. To reserve a spot, contact Carol Ralph at caroltaylorralph@gmail.com.
