Urban Resilient Gardening
Presented by Linda Woodrow, author of the best-selling “The Permaculture Home Garden“, and Peter Lewis, President of Coffs Community Gardens and educator at Barcoo Community Gardens, this hands-on, interactive two hour workshop will show you how to make your food garden summer resilient, with a particular emphasis on using small space urban gardens for maximum production.
Topics explored will include:
- using permaculture principles to design an urban garden
- working with your climate, and your range of microclimates
- seasonally adapted gardening and eating
- taking advantage of light and shade
- raising seeds and seedlings
- breeding up pest predators
- techniques for building fertility and water holding capacity in the soil
- developing ways to avoid gluts and famines in the garden with plant varieties and staggered harvest times
- strategically using vertical spaces, trellises, shaded areas and street scapes and public space to expand your available growing areas
- developing trading relationships of garden produce and other resources with neighbours, family and friends.
