No-Till, Soil Enrichment Permaculture Garden Workshop

Workshop Announcement 

No-Till, Soil Enrichment Garden Workshop Opportunity:

Eliminate the need for chemical fertilizers in our vegetable gardens… help create a model garden.

Barnswallow Corner Farm, located just East of Pigeon Lake.

April 30  (Rain out date: May 7), 2011, 10am-4pm with 1 hour for pot-luck lunch @ 12:00

With the growing concern over high nitrogen in Pigeon Lake’s waterways people are looking for ways that they can reduce their home use of chemical fertilizers and for ways to be involved in the movement toward a healthier lake.

Barnswallow Corner Farm No-Till, Soil Enrichment Garden Workshop assists residents of the Pigeon Lake area, and all others interested, in eliminating the usage of chemical fertilizer with a hands-on, instructional workshop. The instruction given will allow residents to learn about some basic principals in Permaculture practices and no-till gardening. The hands-on development of a no-till garden will provide a space for future Permaculture teaching at Barnswallow Corner Farm. Some study material will be provided, as well as some answers to individuals’ home garden design questions.

This workshop is one of a series of opportunities to receive training in Permaculture practices. Workshops are open to Adults and Youth. Adults are strongly encouraged to work with a local youth partner. Non-residents welcome. There is limited space, please register as soon as possible.
