Forest Garden tour this weekend! | Midcoast Permaculture

This Saturday, April 29 we will be hosting a forest garden walk and talk.

We’ve been foraging in the forest garden just about every day this week! This is a great time of year for perennial vegetables because they start yielding so early. We’ll make a gluten free fritatta as a snack for the garden tour this Saturday with ingredients sourced from the garden. One of my favorite spring greens is stinging nettles. They’re a little challenging to harvest, but once you cook them up, they are positively gourmet!

Here’s a quick reminder about some upcoming events:

Spring Permaculture Garden tour – this Saturday April 29, 10-1. Free to all. You’re invited to a garden tour of our homestead where we’ll talk about the goals for our site, the design, some of the challenges and successes we’ve seen over the years. Feel free to bring a gluten free snack to share, but not required. Kids are welcome, dogs are not. We’ve been dividing and potting up some of our plants and we’ll have a selection of perennial vegetables and ecosystem plants for sale. It’s still on the early side for a garden tour, so we may repeat this event in a few weeks. Send us an email if you’d like to come so we know how many to expect.

Intro to Permaculture on Hurricane Island. May 13-14. Don’t forget about the Intro to Permaculture course coming up on Hurricane Island in May! It will be a great way to get an in-depth introduction to the permaculture design method in an off-grid setting for the weekend on a beautiful island in Penobscot Bay. Check out this flyer for that as well, and you can register for that class here: http://www.hurricaneisland.net/permaculture/

Looking forward to it!

Excelsior!
