GARDENING LIKE THE FOREST - Another workshop

One Day Workshop with Dave Jacke

Gardening Like the Forest: Fundamentals of Ecological Gardening

Ecological gardening attempts to mimic the structure and function of
natural ecosystems in food-producing ecosystems. This workshop explores
the vision, theory, design, and practice of ecosystem agriculture using
the temperate deciduous forest ecosystem as the model. Lectures and
experiential class 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 a workshop for gardeners, designers, and
students of gardening, ecology, and design.
