Permaculture concepts can be applied to backyard food gardens to increase productivity, diversify yields, build soil fertility, and reduce the need for weeding and other strenuous maintenance.

In this hands-on workshop, we'll construct a small garden discuss a number of topics, revealing ways to make make backyard vegetable gardening a more rewarding and successful experience, without making it a part-time job or spending a fortune. Topics will include:


  • Permanent mulched beds
  • Polyculture planting
  • Seed starting
  • Direct seeding
  • Permanent edible covercrops
  • Micro-climate creation
  • Keyhole beds
  • and more...

Who should attend this workshop: Folks who are new to permaculture concepts and/or new to gardening would benefit from attending this workshop.

Runs for 4 hours starting at 11 AM. Bring a lunch!

    I have a followup question. During the planting phase I was concentrating on digging a hole through the cardboard for the large snowberry plant, so I didn't see what happened with the smaller plants. Which ones went into the top layer and which went below the cardboard?
