Have you ever wanted to replace the grass in your yard with something that benefits the planet and provides food? Join us for a dynamic, threeweek course where you will master the art and science of designing and implementing a forest garden: a revolutionary, perennial agricultural system that mimics the resilience, structure, and abundance of a natural forest ecosystem. You will dive deep into the core principles of design, site analysis and assessment, and plant guilds. You will leave the course with a working concept map ready for a site you choose to convert one patch at a time. This learning is grounded in experiential learning through an exclusive field trip to the nascent Sylvalchemy Homestead in nearby Titusville, NJ, offering an unparalleled, groundlevel look at an ecological design in progress, supplemented by a visit to the oak/hickory forest in Washington Crossing State Park to draw direct inspiration for building a truly resilient, low maintenance, and highly productive landscape.
