Event Details

Saturday, April 28th  10:00 to 5:00pm  INTRODUCTION TO EDIBLE FOREST GARDENS

Sunday, April 29th 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM  REDESIGNING YOUR YARD for Perennial Food Production

 

Explore how to transform your conventional yard into a productive, multi-season garden modeled on the  ecosystem found naturally in the forest. Edible forest gardens produce delicious food through a combination of trees, shrubs, herbs, vines, groundcovers and fungi. Small-group design exercises will give you the tools to create productive harvests and positive relationships between plants in your forest garden. Find inspiration from contemporary and historic examples of easy-care perennial food plants. Come prepared for hands-on experience in the design and installation of a small food forest garden appropriate for an urban or suburban setting.
