Event Description

Take a deeper look into the concepts of permaculture, and learn how to design and create a diverse garden that yields food and provides habitat.

This course will explore the layers of a food forest (including trees, shrubs and perennials), and will cover urban-appropriate species, natural plant communities and plant guilds. A demonstration fruit tree guild will be installed in the garden. Dress for the weather, bring gloves and a willingness to participate! Registration>>
