🌱We wanted to let you know about a Permaculture Design Certification program being offered through UMC's Continuing and Professional Studies department this fall.

The University of Mary Washington has partnered with the Shenandoah Permaculture Institute to bring their Permaculture Design Certificate program right here to the Fredericksburg region. This program was previously offered in Richmond and Harrisonburg only.

This is a hands-on, ethics-based program that covers 72 hours of workshops across four fall weekends. It blends field trips, collaborative design projects, and practical training in regenerative agriculture, water conservation, soil management, and applied permaculture.

The program was designed for teachers, sustainability professionals, landscape designers, farmers, and anyone ready to turn gardens, farms, neighborhoods, or cities into thriving, sustainable ecosystems.

Course dates (Fall 2026):

Sept 18–20 · Oct 3–4 · Oct 24–25 · Nov 7–8

Is your yard ready for what's coming this summer?

New data from NOAA shows that nearly 55% of the U.S. is entering summer in moderate to extreme drought — the most widespread early-season dryness in four years. The record-warm winter and volatile spring forced many trees to bud out early, get hit by late frosts, and push out secondary buds- burning through energy reserves they desperately need to survive summer heat, pests, and disease.

Here's a quick homeowner checklist to protect your landscape:
✅ Push a screwdriver 6 inches into soil under your tree's canopy. Can't get it in? Your trees need deep-root watering.
✅ Hold off on new planting or major lawn renovation — drought makes establishment nearly impossible right now.
✅ Delay non-essential pruning (open wounds are harder to heal in heat).
✅ Add 3–4 inches of organic mulch around tree bases in a donut shape (not piled against the trunk).

Warning signs to watch for: canopy thinning, leaf scorch, patchy lawn, compacted soil, or premature browning.

A certified arborist can spot hidden hazards like brittle limbs or early infestations before they become expensive emergencies.
