Edible Forest Gardening: Perennial Food Production

We are so excited to announce that we have worked it out to host this locally!!: Edible Forest Gardening: Perennial Food Production with Jonathan Bates! Saturday, May 21, 11am - 12:30pm talk, 12:30-1:30 plant sale & tabling!

Want to see permaculture plantings that work? Through images and discussion enjoy a thriving Edible Forest Garden that produces loads of fruits, roots, shoots, greens, seeds, flowers, mulch, eggs, knowledge and fun. Come learn how to use the plants (and other yields) from this permaculture paradise in your own garden.

Jonathan Bates runs Food Forest Farm Permaculture Nursery, a source for useful, edible, hard to find plants and seeds. He’s been studying, creating and working with rural and urban gardens in the Connecticut River Valley for the last ten years, and is a co-designer and inhabitant of an edible forest garden in Holyoke, MA. He works closely with Eric Toensmeier, author of Perennial Vegetables and co-author of Edible Forest Gardens. Visit Jonathan's website at: PermacultureNursery.com

Open to the public. Cost: sliding scale of $5-15 per person.

Cosponsored by the North Shore Permaculture Meetup, Northeast Organic Farming Association NH and the Peace & Social Concerns Committee of the Dover Friends.

We will also coordinate a plant preorder from him. See what he has to offer at PermacultureNursery.com. We'll receive a discount for what we preorder. See our message board to get in on that!
