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. Includes a guided garden tour of plant species appropriate for an urban food forest, and what they can offer for food and habitat.
