*Introduction to Forest Gardening, for Adults and Teens* *Saturday, March 28, 1-5pm: Intro Class, indoor presentation and discussion Sunday, May 3, 1-5pm: Hands-on design time and outdoor planting*
Join us for an inspiring exploration of multi-layered and multi-functional 'forest gardens'. These gardens are designed with our understanding of patterns of growth that we learn from existing forest structures. We will look at various potential plant species to include in your temperate climate forest garden, working with Dave Jacke's recent book, “Edible Forest Gardens.” Join Kay Cafasso, certified permaculture design course instructor and ecological garden designer, as we begin to create an abundant orchard garden that yields food, fiber, forage, and fun. Everyone will gain new skills, plant knowledge, and ways to create regenerative gardens in their own home landscape. Sliding fee per session: $25-$45. Earth Arts educational programs connect youth and adults to the land through earth-based curriculums that develop awareness, diverse skills, creativity, stewardship, and the power of community.
