Food Forest DVD Screening

We will be screening Geoff Lawtons DVD "Establishing a food forest".

It starts with a 20 minute Permaculture Classroom as Geoff explains the patterns of a Food Forest and the essential principles of “time-stacking” your garden with the right mix of support species that feed and protect your fledgling fruit trees into maturity. We then join Geoff in the field as he puts the theory into action, planting the seeds and watching the system grow. » Read more
