Join the Planting Up gardening club at Grapevine Coffee Hall as we welcome permaculture designer and Forest Garden specialist, Rakesh “Rootsman Rak”, to help us with our garden design plans by sharing his knowledge on creating low maintenance food forests in any size garden.

This 1-hour in-person event complements Rakesh’s “Forest Garden Design” course, beginning on 25 September (a short drive away) in Ampthill, Bedfordshire, to give us a useful overview to introduce the concept of food forest design.

To sign-up to the full weekend course visit: www.plantingup.co.uk/events/f2f-forest-garden-design-part-1-ampthill

What you’ll get from this event:

This talk gives us the opportunity to understand what a food forest and forest gardening is, and how it can be applied to our own gardens and community green spaces.

The talk will provide an introduction to the basics of forest gardening, where Rakesh will be able to answer any questions about growing your own food forest.

Location:

This talk will be hosted at Grapevine Coffee Hall, our project at Christ the Vine Church, where we are just starting out with planning our community garden.

Registration:

Our event is completely FREE to attend to make it as accessible as possible to everyone. However, registration is necessary, and any donations given on the day to help us cover speaker and venue expenses will be gratefully received.
