We are super excited to introduce the first in a series of short deep dive courses that are aimed at giving you the practical skills you require to go from Permaculture zero to Permaculture hero.
2 Day Food Forestry Deep Dive
Saturday 7th December and Sunday the 8th December
Hailing from New Zealand, our special guest presenter Suveran Dewsnap (Suvi) will be showcasing the knowledge he has accumulated over 30 years of travelling and planting exotic trees.
Suvi's wealth of knowledge will be showcased using the working example of the masterpiece food forest he planted out around 5 years ago at High Valley Dawn.
Because Suvi's knowledge goes so deep, we have decided to split these courses up into easy-to-digest 2 day chunks that will focus on the specific hands-on work that is being done and the changes in management as the seasons change.
In this special Summer installation, we will be teaching you:
An introduction to food forestry, visioning your dreams, food forest history/planning/implementation, the design and benefits of swales and the 7 layers of a food forest with farm Owner Ross O'Reilly
How and when to prune fruit trees for production and ease of picking with Suvi
How and when to manage a food forest as it grows in relation to spacings Suvi
How and when to manage support species to understand the balance between sun and shade (i.e. canopy regulation)
Effective chemical-free management of bananas
