A “Food Forest” is a low-maintenance, sustainable, plant-based agroforestry system based on woodland ecosystems. It incorporates fruit and nut trees, shrubs, herbs, vines, and perennial vegetables, which have yields directly useful to humans and beyond.
Join us for a weekend of harvesting, sharing the taste of the fall apples and hardy kiwis, learning practices for preserving the harvest, and managing the garden so we can put it to rest, go within for healing in the winter, and be ready for the spring.
This weekend we will dive deeply into the permaculture principles: Apply self regulation, accept feedback, and creatively use and respond to change.
This workshop is for those with some or no practice in growing their own fruits or vegetables, its great for the forest, backyard or window farmer.
Please bring rain jackets, outdoor boots and clothes for cold and rainy spring weather, as well as comfy clothes for yoga and Satsang.
