Ready to move from dreaming to designing your food forest? ✏️This hands-on workshop is all about turning your ideas into a real, workable plan for your own space.
Bring your site map to class and learn how to actually design your forest garden with expert guidance every step of the way. Together, we’ll walk through a clear, practical process so you leave with confidence, and a plan you can grow into over time.

🌿 How to assess layout, access, and flow before you plant
🌿 Choosing and placing the right trees, shrubs, and companion plants
🌿 Designing plant guilds and using structure to strengthen your ecosystem
🌿 Strategies for phasing your installation over time (no overwhelm!)

You’ll learn how to make your forest garden both functional and personal, creating an outdoor oasis that grows with you year after year.
