Designing an Edible Forest Garden – A Weekend Workshop, August 4 & 5, 2012 – Lawrence, KS
with Steve Moring, Daniel Dermitzel, Michael Almon and Charles NovoGradac
Description:
This workshop will explore the vision, theory, design and practice of ecological forest agriculture that uses our temperate deciduous forest as a model. By mimicking the structure and function of a natural ecosystem architecture through all stages of growth, a good design can maximize photosynthesis for perennial production of food, fodder and fiber.
The course will cover the basics of forest gardening: understanding plant guilds and plant community functions, plant species and site selection considerations, and the process for developing a forest garden design. Participants will leave the course with plant lists, resources on design strategies, and a base map for scheming and dreaming up your forest garden.
