The San Pedro Food Forest (Aka San Pedro
Year Around Garden) is one of the most mature, diverse, and productive
food forests in all of southern California. It's a little known oasis in
the concrete jungle and a glimpse into a future where local food isn't
just at the farmers market, it's below our feet, on our feet, at our
knees, waist, shoulders, head, and above. Here we can see the potential
of the 7 layer permaculture food forest design system and experience
deep immersion into edible re-wilding nature.
After a hike around
the site, we'll take a break then reconvene at the picnic table on the
other side of the train tracks conduct a preparedness gift circle where
we can let people know what needs we have that others may able to help
with, and where we can make offerings of things we can share.
For more on gift circles go here:

Finally we'll have a seed/cutting/crop swap so we can all leave with new friends to make homes for on our homesteads.
