Forest Garden Design Immersion Course

Offered locally Aug. 9-15

Dave Jacke, author of Edible Forest Gardens , will be offering a seven-day Forest Garden Design Immersion Course at Jenny Haack and Rob Content’s land, just north of Yellow Springs, Ohio from Monday, August 9 through Sunday, August 15, 2010. The course is being sponsored by OEFFA (Ohio Ecological Food and Farm Association) and will allow participants to dive deeply into the vision, theory, design, and practice of creating edible ecosystems using temperate deciduous forest ecosystems as models.

As a part of the Immersion Course, Jacke will present two lectures at the Glen Helen Building that are free and open to the public. The first, an introductory lecture on Edible Forest Gardening, will be Monday, August 9 at 7:30 pm. The second lecture on Soil Fertility will be on Wednesday, August 11 at 7:30 pm.
