UPCOMING WORKSHOPS
JUNE 10 _ Urban Permaculture Gardens: Absolute abundance in small spaces
Permaculture design can increase the productivity of your garden, providing beauty, abundance, and the leisure to enjoy it. Permaculture takes a systems approach to garden planning, building soil fertility, and generating year-around harvests. Small plot intensive techniques, such as keyhole beds, companion planting, and succession planting maximize yields and reduce labour.
Permaculture design works with nature; imitating natural patterns to create systems that meet our needs while promoting the health of the entire ecosystem. This brief introduction will outline the ethics, goals, design priorities, and decision. Zoom link will be shared here before the session.
JUNE 23 _ Planning a Winter Harvest
Planting for winter harvest starts in July. This class will guide you through the planting calendar for winter and spring harvest. Best varieties for overwintering, mulching weather protection, where and how much to grow to ensure great winter eats will all be covered. Zoom link will be shared here before the session.
We are looking forward to setting our first step into the digital world of knowledge sharing & we can’t wait to connect with you on our screen ♥
