Description
Texas Edible Landscapes, in cooperation with Permaculture Education, LLC. is proud to announce a new series of workshops, being co-hosted with international permaculture teacher and designer, David Dornbrack.
This will be the first in a series of workshops where we will be designing a community food forest! The workshops will be hosted on the site of the upcoming garden. We will be designing, building, planting, maintaining and harvesting the exact food forest system where we are hosting these workshops. You will also be learning valuable skills on how to create a home orchard in your own backyard!
Come, learn and hang out and make friends with like-minded individuals who also want to learn how to grow their own organic, nutrient dense food with minimal effort and maintenance!
Be aware, we are limiting this groundbreaking event to only 30 participants and then we are giving priority reservations on future events to our founding participants. Those involved in the workshops and putting in the sweat equity will also enjoy the fruits of their labor by being able to harvest once produce is ripe!
