Event

Explore & Support a Fruit Tree Guild @ BFF
Sun., Oct. 21, 2018
10AM to Noon (2 hrs.)

Much can be learned about Fruit Tree Guilds from careful observation and hands-on gardening practice so if you're ready to learn from, and contribute to, Beacon Food Forest (BFF), this class is for you!

Kimberly will review a few basic concepts about Permaculture Design and Fruit Tree Guilds, then the class will observe and assess an existing Fruit Tree Guild in BFF's Phase 1 to discuss its present state and how we can improve the guild design for better function and yield.  Gardening tasks we'll cover: weeding (what is a weed @ BFF?), pruning, transplanting/planting, and mulching of the plants in the Fruit Tree Guild.  These guild and gardening skills can help you in your own garden or one in your community.  Based on the interest of the class, and how our guild gardening adventure goes, we may have time to tour around more of BFF together, too!

We'll meet in the Gathering Plaza, then go out into the Food Forest for the majority of the class so dress for the weather and getting dirty.  Bring a snack and water bottle.  There will be a small handout and may be useful to take some notes in a notebook/device.
