At ENCM’s McCoy Cooperative Garden, we are creating edible
plant “neighborhoods” that demonstrate interconnection in a way that shows a
healthy and abundant plant community as well as pointing toward the healthy and
abundant communities of neighbors working cooperatively together. Would you like to learn about edible forest
gardening with us?
Edible Forest gardening is the art and science of putting
plants together in woodland like patterns that forge mutually beneficial
relationships, creating a garden ecosystem that is more than the sum of its
parts. (See Dave Jacke at www.edibleforestgardens.com
for more).
Please join us on Saturday, Aug. 25 from 9-11am for a Food
Forest Gardening: Perennial Food Production Systems workshop with Jeremy Lekich
of Nashville Foodscapes. Jeremy works to reconnect people with their food
source by growing food where they live and will lead us as we learn about the
sustainability, abundance, and richness of growing edibles through food
forests.
Check Jeremy out at http://nashvillefoodscapes.com/team.html.
