Transform your garden into a thriving, resilient, and abundant ecosystem.
Join us for a hands-on, full-day workshop that brings the principles of food forestry into the suburban backyard. Learn how to design and establish a multi-layered, perennial food system that provides fresh produce, habitat, beauty, and long-term resilience – no matter the size of your space.
Across the day, we will explore the foundations of food forest design, including soil health, water resilience, plant layering, species selection for South East Queensland, microclimate creation, and how to integrate annuals and perennials for year-round productivity. You’ll gain practical skills in reading landscape patterns, understanding plant guilds, and building gardens that work with nature rather than against it.
This workshop is ideal for home gardeners, urban growers, and anyone wanting to increase food security, biodiversity, and ecological function at home. Expect a balance of theory, practical demonstrations, and real design activities you can take straight back to your own backyard.
You’ll leave with:
• A clear understanding of how a food forest works
• Practical steps for starting or improving your own backyard system
• Species lists and guild combinations for our climate
• Confidence to design a productive, low-maintenance edible ecosystem
Whether you’re starting from scratch or enhancing an existing garden, this workshop will empower you to grow abundance, one layer at a time.
