Work with nature to build rich soil, conserve water, the fundamentals you need to create a healthy ecosystem full of nutritious edibles in your yard. Join experienced permaculture designers Jono Nieger and Koreen Brennan for a weekend immersion into permaculture approaches to building soil, conserving water and understanding natural patterns and the natural world.
This weekend we’ll focus on resilient soil building, water use, trees, and ecosystem patterns; putting it together to help you design your edible forest garden. The workshop is part of the Urban Permaculture Design Course Tampa Bay, but also acts as a stand alone workshop. Fees and time spent at this workshop can be applied to any future full permaculture design course with Grow Permaculture.
This workshop will be held at beautiful Moccasin Lake Nature Park, Clearwater, FL, a 50 acre nature preserve with several ecosystems, rare species, a beautiful boardwalk and lake. This park has space for a food forest and is focused on regenerative living! There will be information, hands on learning and take home materials. We will cover fundamentals that apply anywhere with a focus on Florida specific techniques.
