Sowing the Seeds of a Food Forest: A Hands-On Workshop

Past event
May 25, 2019, 10 AM to 12:30 PM

Join Edible Brattleboro volunteers to learn how to start and tend a Food Forest, an edible perennial garden that mimics our local ecosystems to provide food in the community over the long term, with minimal labor and cost. This will be the first of three workshops this season on growing Food Forests at Edible Brattleboro's Demonstration Site in West Brattleboro.

Focus on building a low-maintenance nursery bed for growing out young trees and shrubs, and also learn to make seed balls to sow understory plants that build soil, attract pollinators, and produce food!

Saturday, May 25, 10am – 12:30pm
1009 Hinesburg Road, West Brattleboro
Suggested donation: $10. No one turned away. Everyone is welcome to attend!
