SUMMARY:Richard Walker's Food Forestry Weekend Seminar VICTORIA
DESCRIPTION:With 26 years of Food Forestry experience, Richard Walker 
 is heading back to Victoria, BC for an exclusive two day workshop that
  we think will be the most education you can receive about Food Forest
 ry, practical Herbalism and making a living off of both (Permaculture 
 that Pays) anywhere in Canada.\n\"This course completely exceeded my i
 nformation expectations in every way.\"\nTodd Gesshe - Cowichan Valley
 \nHello and welcome, Food Forest Permaculture\nMaybe you've heard of f
 ood forests...\nMaybe you've read the recent UN report recognizing per
 ennials as essential in creating sustainable food sources...\nOr maybe
  you realized what many gardeners, farmers and people around have disc
 overed...\nFood Forest gardening provides food, fiber, fuel and medici
 ne with lower maintenance and cost over time.\nWhatever you've heard, 
 food forest gardening is a method of gardening based on natural forest
  systems that, when mature, need little to no fertilizing, watering or
  maintenance.\n\"Thanks for the great first experience. I look forward
  to taking more PBC courses.\"\nJason Barber - Natural Builder - Shawn
 igan Lake, BC\nPoppy Flower Organic Garden\nPoppy-cock you say?\nNot a
 t all! And here's the person to show you.\nRichard Walker comes with o
 ver 25 years of experience as a food forester, landscape designer, her
 balist and instructor. In 1984 he started one of Canada'a first food f
 orests in Grand Forks, BC. During that time Dragon's Eye Nursery was b
 orn from his assembled food forest.\nWhat really adds to Richard’s c
 redibility is that he lives as he teaches. He lives simply, creatively
  using his skills to bring food from the soil to the table and in doin
 g so teaches us how food and plants create a culture of true sustainab
 ility, or in his own words “gardening for one thousand years”.\nLa
 st year Richard presented two sold-out workshops on Vancouver Island, 
 this year his last workshop sold out in 5 days. And we still have a wa
 iting list from all three courses.\nAfter informing a friend she asked
 , \"Okay so do I have to start saving now? It's going to be like $450,
  right?\"\nNope. Not even close. Half that!\nWhen:\nSaturday May 18 &
