A Vancouver Food Forestry Evening with Richard Walker
Ladies, Gentlmen, Perennial Plants and those inbetween,
Seriously?
Richard Walker's Victoria workshop sold out in 5 days?
Really?
In-freaking-credible...
I guess that just goes to show how super amazing and timely the topic of food security is. Not to mention that Food Forests produce more over time and take less effort to maintain (hello lazy gardener!).
If you'd like to immerse yourself into Food Forestry with Richard, check out his Vancouver Workshop or arrange a Site Consultation and contact us.
Due to the overwhelming response to Richard's workshop we're offering a little appetizer.
