The Alchemical Nursery Project has been fortunate to have the skills of 15 landscape design students from Professor Emmanual Carter's class at SUNY-ESF for a week's worth of study and design for 717 Otisco street, the proposed future home of the ANP's urban embassy headquarters.  These students have taken one week out of their normal class studies to research, explore and design possible configurations for our desired Permaculture based landscape needs.  Including vegetable gardens, chicken coop, storage, water catchment and more.

The final designs will be presented at the Gear Factory (a Westside resource hub  for the productive interaction of artists, musicians, and creative types of all genres) on the corner of Fayette and Geddes Streets, this Wednesday, March 25th at 6 PM.  All are welcome to attend and learn about the proposed designs and supply feedback to the students and for the future of the property.  Hope to see you there. For more info contact Frank (315.380.6161) or Liz (315.412.1012).

Check out this interesting video about reclaiming vacant housing for occupation - proclaiming shelter as a basic human right. Seems rather pertinent considering the foreclosure crisis, and considering how many vacant houses there are right here is Syracuse. In May 2000, Neighborhood Reinvestment Corporation released a housing market study for the City of Syracuse (The Syracuse Neighborhood Initiative Housing Market Study, 2000). According to this study, there are approximately 8,710 vacant housing units in the city.

While our city has experimented with a dollar house program, where they literally gave away several hundred of these houses for $1 to people, without any requirements such as credit checks or proposals, it apparently failed because these people did not know how to fix up the houses and came back asking for help (when there was no capacity to give them that assistance). Perhaps what we could do as a city is to use funding to offfer free training to anybody and everybody who is willing in carpentry and green rehab practices so that they then have the skills to go into these houses and fix them up for themselves and their families... This morning, homeless people and community allies took over a vacant building in El Barrio/East Harlem. The target was a beautiful two-story building at the corner of Madison Avenue and 116th that has been vacant for decades...

What if the world embodied our highest potential? What would it look like? As the structures of modern society crumble, is it enough to respond with the same tired solutions? Or are we being called to question a set of unexamined assumptions that form the very basis of our civilization? This 25-minute retrospective asks us to reflect on the state of the world and ourselves, and to listen more closely to what is being asked of us at this time of unprecedented global transformation.
