This is a five day, hands-on course that will focus on food forests and garden design. By taking this course you will learn how to design and start a food forest in your own backyard. Participants will walk through the design process with professional designers, starting from setting goals, surveying the piece of land, building a base map, considering earthworks, and creatively designing around constraints.
Attendees will be able to see and apply these principles to a small garden or a large plot of land. This training is also beneficial to missionaries to be able to help individuals in food insecure areas around the world have a foundation to bring nutrition into their lives from their own backyard.
