Permaculture concepts can be applied to backyard food gardens to increase productivity, diversify yields, build soil fertility, and reduce the need for weeding and other strenuous maintenance.

In this hands-on workshop, we'll construct a small garden discuss a number of topics, revealing ways to make make backyard vegetable gardening a more rewarding and successful experience, without making it a part-time job or spending a fortune.

Topics will include:

• Permanent mulched beds 
• Polyculture planting 
• Seed starting 
• Direct seeding 
• Permanent edible covercrops 
• Micro-climate creation 
• Keyhole beds 
• and more... 

Who should attend this workshop: Folks who are new to permaculture concepts and/or new to gardening would benefit from attending this workshop.

Runs for 4 hours starting at 11 AM. Bring a lunch!
