The Basics of Small-Scale Permaculture Gardens
Tryon Life Community Farm (map)
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?
