About This Event

Forest gardens are food producing systems which mimic natural woodland, supporting biodiversity whilst providing an abundant harvest. You don’t need any big trees to get started though, even small gardens or allotment plots can become food forests! This interactive session will introduce the key ideas behind forest gardening and how you can apply them in your own growing space. We will use the community training garden at Ravenscraig Walled Garden as a live example to look at how the principles can be applied. Janice Gibson is a keen gardener with an interest in permaculture. She designed and implemented the forest garden at PLANT (People Learning about Nature in Tayport), and helps to maintain it. This workshop should be of interest to all gardeners, from the more seasoned to absolute beginners! We will provide tea/coffee, biscuits, some homegrown herbal teas and fruity snacks. Participants should bring a packed lunch as there are no shops nearby. Booking Information The event is free but booking is required. You can choose to purchase a ticket with a donation.
