Forest Garden Immersion Course

Hands-on Training to Design and Implement Edible Landscapes

In Association with Appleseed Permaculture

APRIL 23-26, 2009

High Falls, New York

at Camp Epworth Permaculture Demonstration & Education Center

Course Inspiration

Imagine a forest where every single tree is dripping with fresh fruits  
and ripening nuts. Every shrub is packed with delicious berries, and  
every other plant is a medicinal herb, culinary spice, or beautiful  
edible flower. Tubers and root crops are abundant underfoot, gourmet  
mushroom logs sprout in the shade, and hardy kiwi vines climb back up  
through the layers of this multi-functional forest of food. During the  
4-day (Thu-Fri-Sat-Sun) course, participants learn how to design,  
establish, and maintain such Edible Forest Gardens of Eden.

Course Description

This course immerses participants in the thriving local forest  
gardening culture of the Hudson Valley. Together we will engage in the  
practical skills of forest gardening: propagation, grafting, planting  
& mulching, soil ecology, basic botany & horticulture, management &  
maintenance, plant identification, mushroom inoculation, foraging &  
wild edibles, community preparation of local medicines, and fresh  
forest garden cooking. We will explore nature, build community, expand  
last year's garden and celebrate the abundance with the local community!
