[Scpg] Natural Dryland Edible Gardening Workshop Details

[Benjamin]

Natural Dryland Edible Gardening

This two part workshop series will equip gardeners and would-be
gardeners with the knowledge to reap a bounty of food with southern
California rainfall and very little on-going work.

PART ONE of the series will cover these topics:

1. Planting With Nature
2. How to Get Produce from the Space You Have
3. Building Soil Nature's Way
4, Planting Methods
5. Plants for an Arid Vegetable & Fruit Garden

During Part One, we will observe several gardens including a nearby
edible asian forest garden. Participants will also make seedballs to
take home.


PART TWO of the series will cover:

1. Simple Rainwater Catchment & Mosquito Abatement
2. Integrated Pest Management (taught by a California Certified Nursery
Professional TM)
3. Crop Storage

During Part Two, participants will create a small rainwater catchment
system and explore methods of dehydrating food.

This hands-on workshop is unique. It takes permaculture gardening to a
higher level. By following the principles and methods we will explore,
you will create a self-sustaining food system using no outside inputs.
