Free Weekend Food Forest Workshop
Written by Lottie Harris   
Monday, 29 October 2012 15:06

A Food Forest Workshop is the next in our "Localising Food" series

This will be a two day workshop taking place in Lyttelton on 10 & 11 of November.

The aim when designing and creating a food forest is primarily to provide diversity of food for our needs; however this gardening arrangement brings more than just that. In food forests plants not only complement one another but the whole ecosystem. They create unique microclimates and attract beneficial soil biota, insects and animals for healthy ecosystem development. When grown together these plants make efficient use of space and resources requiring little input from humans.

This event is sponsored by Project Lyttelton and is free of charge.

Please RSVP to my email: This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it if you'd like to join. Be in quick as spaces are limited.
