Educational Opportunities: Learning opportunities include (but are not limited to) general landscaping, weeding, pruning, cover crop & soil fertility management, direct seeding, transplanting, trellising, harvesting, post harvest handling, integrated pest management, compost maintenance, compost tea brewing & application, assisting on building projects, etc. We will make time during the week for educational round table discussions on collectively determined Agro-ecological topics of interest. A few potential areas for discussion and exploration are native restoration, bioremediation, rainwater catchment, renewable energy, etc. This is a chance for us all to share, teach, and learn from each other’s interests, passions, and experiences.
