Food Forest – Planning and Planting Weekend Course

Learn how food forests work – how they can be designed, planned and maintained, and the sort of plants that can be put into them to make the food forest look after itself after a few years and give you very little work for a lot of return in food nutrition.

Lots of practical work during the weekend on creating soil, planting, propagation, pruning and creating an 'instant' food forest in 50 minutes!

The course is for anyone wanting to know more about or wanting to plant a food forest - no previous garden skills necessary.

The course is held on a one acre permaculture property in New Plymouth which has an 8 year old food forest, extensive permaculture gardens, a sub-tropical planting area, stream and 350 year old native bush – Korito Garden.

Places are limited to 10. Cost includes morning and afternoon tea. Bring something for a shared lunch.

Check out full details of the course on ‘permaculture tab’ on the website – www.korito.co.nz.
