Edible Forest Gardening In A Nutshell:  An Introduction – Saturday, April 7 2012 9am – 1 pm $45-60

Edible Forest Gardening (EFG) is an effective way to design home scale gardens in our climate that mimic forest ecosystem structure and function, but grow food, fuel, fiber, fodder, fertilizer, "farmaceuticals," and fun while we consciously apply the principles of ecology and permaculture.  Join us for a hands-on skill-building experience in edible forest gardening.  Learn to transform traditional lawn landscapes into abundant food-producing perennial forest gardens.  Participants will learn the skills needed to get started at their own home or expand the abilities of a gardening business.  We will get our hands dirty while we install and establish a brand new forest garden.  Have you wanted to:

•      learn about Permaculture and/or Edible Forest Gardening?

•      learn how to grow more food in less space with less weeding and watering?

•      learn how to use organic gardening methods to produce healthier food for your family?

•      learn how to build healthy soil?

•      learn how to incorporate healthy nuts, fruits, and perennial vegetables into your garden space?

This dynamic, hands-on class will meet from 9 am-1 pm in Rochester, NY.  Class size is limited.  Sliding scale $45-60.  Optional brown bag lunch after class.  Preregistration is required.
