Join us for our first permaculture adventure at the love, wild gardens with Molly Corder and friends!
This is a FREE event for the public, and is also included with all our love, wild hive memberships, but you MUST register for the event so we have an accurate attendance count for supplies, food and magic!
Permaculture Workshop Details
Come get your hands dirty while learning the magic of working with nature instead of against it. This family-friendly gathering brings together local permaculture guides and curious souls ready to build good things together.
Dive into hands-on demonstrations where we'll uncover the secrets of seed saving, craft worm hotels for your backyard (aka vermiculture!), and discover how yesterday's "garden waste" becomes tomorrow's treasure.
We'll build sustainable Hugelkultur beds that'll keep giving for years, master the art of "chop & drop" gardening and other techniques to work with the land.
Community Exchange & Potluck
As we gather we all bring something for our community table - gently used clothing, extra remedies or medicine exchange, good seeds, extra plants, jars of canned goodness, sauces, veggies, jams, jellies, ferments and veggies or fruit whatever else you may have in abundance.
And then a lovely potluck - registrations will have a form to sign up!
