FOREST GARDENING with DAVE JACKE

presented by
The Finger Lakes Permaculture Institute
http://www.fingerlakespermaculture.org

at the
Cayuga Nature Center
http://www.cayuganaturecenter.org/

Dave Jacke is coming to the Finger Lakes to offer an inspiring and practical
workshop on the vision, ecology, design, and stewardship of  forest gardens:
perennial polycultures of multipurpose plants in small-scale settings. Dave
Jacke (http://www.edibleforestgardens.com) is a well respected teacher and
designer who recently released "Edible Forest Gardens," an extensive
two-volume book on the subject.

Learn about consciously applying the principles of ecology to the design of
home scale gardens that mimic forest ecosystem structure. Through edible
forest gardening we can transform our own yards and  gardens into productive
paradises. Forest gardens have much to offer on  a practical level, and they
have much to teach us about how to live in community as free and
interdependent beings in a functional way.
