Connexions Calendar

Forest Gardening Workshop


March 14, 2011


Mother Nature never uses pesticides, herbicides, fertilizers, or machinery. And yet her ecosystems seem to have a steady law of ever increasing fertility, diversity and abundance. How does she do it?

From Masanobu Fukuoka's "lazy farmer"/natural agriculture system, to Robert Hart's "Edible Forest Garden" - come hear about how nature's natural techniques have been carefully observed and imitated to create human-influenced ecosystems that provide not only the possibility of sustainable nourishment, but also medicines, fodder, fuel, fertilizers, shelter, wild-life habitat, beauty and inspiration.

Could the average gardener conceive of never having to poke a shovel in the earth again? Of never having to weed, fertilize or even bury seeds in the ground again, all the while producing harvest after harvest, year after year? Could you imagine walking out into your backyard only to step into an enchanted seven story edible forest?

All this is possible, if we only had the patience and insight to follow nature's lead. Come find out how at FoodShare.
