Imagine heading outside to your yard and being able to gather ingredients for a delicious main course or side dish. It is easier than you think.
Every site requires site-specific techniques, and we’ll teach you how to identify what is needed to implement a successful project.
Students will gain the confidence to read their own landscapes and identify resources and weaknesses. Using permaculture design principles and the very best organic gardening techniques, they will then learn how to plan and install a system for prolific production.
