Edible Forest Gardens with Dave Jacke (Full Day)

Please join us in welcoming Dave Jacke to Maine for this one-day workshop on Edible Forest Gardens. We will examine the vision, theory, design, and practice of creating food-producing ecologies. Lectures, field observations, and experiential exercises will reveal the nature of ecosystem architecture, social structure, underground economics, and succession. Participants will draw conclusions from these experiences, developing practical design principles, practices, patterns, and processes for garden design and management.

This is an introductory workshop for gardeners, designers, and students of gardening, ecology, and design.
