Strategies for Sustainable Living:
A Day-Long Community Event

The Power of Community:
How Cuba Survived Peak Oil

  Join Geoff Lawton on a Permaculture adventure as he demonstrates how to grow a food forest from start to finish. Over 90 minutes of quality information to get you on the right track in creating your own garden or farm.
  • Forest fundamentals for the classroom
     
  • Establishing a food forest from day 1
     
  • A forest on a swale system
     
  • Using chickens to do the spade work
     

We also see the forest after three months and three years later as well as a seven0year forest.

We start with a 20 minute Permaculture Classroom as Geoff explains the patterns of a Food Forest and the essential principles of "time stacking" your garden with the right mix of support species that feed and protect your fledgling fruit trees into maturity. We then join Geoff in the field as he puts the theory into action, planting the seeds and watching the system grow.

We end up at Tagari Farm - established by Permaculture founding father, Bill Mollision - which was abandoned years ago, but planted according to Permaculture design principles. Would this Food Foest survive on its own? You'll be surprised.
