Forest Gardening Weekend

​Join us for a weekend of planting as we install a variety of trees, shrubs, and grasses in a row that runs on-contour through our orchard. This agroforestry strip is continuing our work transitioning a conventional monocrop orchard into a thriving and diverse food forest.

After a short introduction on some agroforestry principles and how they guide our process, we’ll get hands-on for the rest of the weekend:

• ​Prepping the site and soil amendments for plantings

• ​Planting a variety of trees, shrubs, grasses, etc. 

• ​Mulching deeply & seeding 

• ​Installing irrigation 

​This is an event for both experts and beginners - come get your hands in the soil with us!
