Edible Forest Gardening In A Nutshell:  An Introduction

Sunday, April 29, 2012 9am – 1 pm $45-60 sliding scale

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 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?
