Hi there ,
Thank you for your interest in our Introduction to Forest Gardening course. After the success of our last one at Ynyslas CSA, Nr Borth, Ceredigion, we are pleased to be offering this one day introduction to using permaculture design in the garden at the Workhouse

A forest garden, or food forest is an application of the principles of ecology and permaculture design to create a very low maintentance and productive growing system. A low input, high output system, it is kind of the holy grail in gardening and a key building block for developing much more sustainable and nature fiendly lifestyles. They can work on any scale, in any climate in just about every environment, it is all about working the pricniples and seeing the patterns and applying them to one's own particular setting.

The course is suitable for anyone interested in growing food in a low maintenance easily managed forest system. On a larger scale food forests and edible landscapes offer us perhaps the most productive and robust system of food growing available and will form a key part of our sustainable future. Find out how easy it is to begin your own on this lively and informative one day course

The Sector39 project grew out of work with RISC in Reading developing a roof-top forest garden, using permaculture principles. It has developed into a stunning example of what is possible.
