Low Maintenance - High Productivity Gardening
10 - 4 workshop at Solscape. $60
Thoughtful design and timely management of gardens can yield an
abundance of food with very little ongoing maintenance. The productive
and attractive vegetable gardens at Solscape Eco Retreat will be used
as an example of the successful application of a design/management
system developed over the last decade by organic farmer Nelson Lebo.
Some of these strategies were adopted at Rainbow Valley Farm - world
famous permaculture property - after this workshop was presented there
in 2010.
