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: http://wiki.gifteconomy.org/Gift_Circle

If you have surplus first aid supplies, dried food, manuals, survival gear, etc. it would be great to give out those as gifts.

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

sun shade hat
water
