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:

Forest Gardening?
