MORE DETAILS:
Part 1 - Forest Garden Concepts, From Canopy to Ground Cover - We'll look at what constitutes a forest garden, site and owner needs analysis process, design principles, and implementation guidelines. We'll first focus on design of the overstory and woody shrubs and vines, then on the herbaceous understory layers. We'll alternate between lecture and yard tour of our four year old food forest including many unusual herbaceous species.
Part 2 - Design a Forest Garden Site - We'll use an actual yard of a volunteer host site. Starting with a base map with sectors and zones overlaid, we'll break into teams and design a forest garden to meet our host's goals. We'll spend time observing the actual site, then work on paper to create designs. We'll then transfer portions of the paper design to on-the-ground stakes, path layouts, and other representative tricks to visualize the planted, mature food forest. If time permits and people feel interested, we can also design a sample understory herbaceous layer on paper.
