In this interactive class we'll get started on the how-to's for growing a food forest at home.

We'll talk about native fruit and nut bearing trees and shrubs as well as companion plantings for fruit trees, soil preparation, when to plant, how to place and plant trees and shrubs and resources for learning more. This class combines these topics into a cohesive how-to for folks wanting to grow a tasty, healthy, and sustainable landscape at home.
