Brief Introduction
Transform your backyard into a lush food forest, growing edible crops in a wildlife havenDescription
No matter the size of your garden, you can create a lush food forest using forest garden techniques. Step-by-step, you’ll learn how to work with nature to grow edible crops, all the while creating a haven for wildlife.
The course is divided into 3 stages
Watching, thinking and planning — where you observe, measure and document your garden to start the planning process, then on to craete the map to enable the design process.
Structural planting — establish the windbreaks & protective structures, start a productive perennial veg bed and plant the canopy tree layer.
Filling in the structure — prepare the ground so that you can plant the shrubs and the ground cover
Practical walkthroughs, demonstrating each of the stages, will be added regularly.
