Imagine that on top of looking wonderfully wild, it produces an abundance of nutrient dense food and will ultimately need very little digging, weeding, manual watering or pest control – all in harmony with animals and other beings (eco friendly and vegan). This is ‘an edible forest garden’.\nForest gardening is a way of growing food where nature does most of the work for you. Modelled on natural woodland, crops are grown in different layers from high and medium sized canopy to roots, ground cover and climbers. And its not just food and medicine you will get from the forest garden, there are many more yields.\nThrough careful planning plants are chosen which have beneficial effects on each other, attract beneficial insects and create a healthy biodiverse rich system that maintains its own fertility. Once established, your main task will be harvesting!\n\n\n====== WHAT TO EXPECT ON THE INTRO & FULL COURSE =======\nThis workshop is in 2 parts\nPART 1: Gives you the tools you need to design your own forest garden (see above for options).\nPART 2: Gives you an opportunity to design your own place with the help of others. You will also learn how to implement your designs.\n\n\n=== RECORDINGS ===\nAll sessions will be recorded, so if you miss a day it will be easy to catch up\n\n\n====== WHAT TO EXPECT – FOREST GARDEN DESIGN PART 2 ======\n—— A step by step guide to designing your own forest garden ——\nThis is mainly for people who want to make a real forest garden design (their own or help someone else). This course is well suited for people working together to design a community forest garden. You must have done Part 1 to do this part 2\nDuring this part you will\n– Make maps and gather the right information to make a design\n– Identify your and/or your communities needs and needs of the land\n– Learn how to implement your designs (where to start)\n– Make a succession plan (how the forest garden grows and matures by itself)\n– Design how you get yield from year one\n– Think about any maintenance\n– Think about how you harvest your yields\n– Water management\n– Tree and plant guilds\n– We will also discuss how to work well with other people in a community project\n\n\n====== LEAD FACILITATOR ======\nThe course will be led by Rakesh “Rootsman Rak” – experienced Permaculture designer, teacher and Forest Garden specialist, yoga teacher and homeopath. He has been growing food since he was a child, and has been designing and teaching edible landscaping, permaculture, forest gardening, etc since 2009. Rakesh has designed and implemented forest gardens from small-scale private gardens and schools, to farms, community gardens, communal nature gardens, as well as designing a forest garden on part of a 30-hectare ecovillage in Croatia.\n\n\n\n\n====== TESTIMONIALS FROM FOREST GARDENING COURSE 2020 ======\nAbsolutely inspirational! Rakesh’s unique way of teaching enabled us to develop our knowledge and skills whatever our starting point. I can’t wait to put it all into practice now!

WHAT IS FOREST GARDENING
Imagine your garden or community space looking as lovely as a woodland edge. Imagine that on top of looking wonderfully wild, it produces an abundance of nutrient dense food and will ultimately need very little digging, weeding, manual watering or pest control – all in harmony with animals and other beings (eco friendly and vegan). This is ‘an edible forest garden’.
Forest gardening is a way of growing food where nature does most of the work for you. Modelled on natural woodland, crops are grown in different layers from high and medium sized canopy to roots, ground cover and climbers. And its not just food and medicine you will get from the forest garden, there are many more yields.
Through careful planning plants are chosen which have beneficial effects on each other, attract beneficial insects and create a healthy biodiverse rich system that maintains its own fertility. Once established, your main task will be harvesting!
====== WHAT TO EXPECT ON THE INTRO & FULL COURSE =======
This workshop is in 2 parts
