Permaculture is known for long-lasting, low-maintenance perennial gardens that stack plants in time and space. The opposite of a monoculture. A well-planned edible forest garden will be abundant, full of life and less susceptible to disease and insect attack. In this 1 hour workshop we will explore how to use the kind of diversity found in natural forests to create your own edible version. We’ll learn about the layers in a forest garden, suitable plants for this region and how to establish a forest garden. We’ll talk about companion plants and then we’ll plant a mini-forest garden in a pot.
