Cost £50 tbc Course summary Forest gardening, or something equivalent, has existed for thousands of years. From Sri Lanka to the native cultures of America, tribes of humans have gardened the forest, creating intimate patchworks of highly diverse and productive clearings. These systems mimicked natural ecosystems, growing many species of edible and useful plants together. In contrast to this picture of diverse, wild systems, current agricultural methods are often unsustainable because of their dependency on non-renewable resources. The modern concept of forest gardening is evolving, in part, from the desire to create a system focusing on food crops, but also looking towards a way for us to live in balance, as part of the whole. This course will introduce to the key concepts in forest gardening and the core considerations in designing sustainable systems that create multiple yields.
