Herb Your Enthusiasm: Incorporating Herbs into Edible Permaculture Forest Gardens

Join the Central Ohio Unit of the Herb Society of America for their public meeting with speaker, Dianne Kadonaga of Sunny Glen Garden. Edible forest gardens are multi-layered gardens mimicking natural ecosystems, integrating trees, shrubs, perennials, and annuals to create a productive and sustainable landscape. Learn about key features of permaculture and how herbs can be incorporated into the layers of forest growth or in suitable polycultures or guilds, that require less watering, weeding, and fertilization. Come explore how herbs can contribute to soil health, pest management, and biodiversity, in an edible urban forest, forest edge, or around a tree or shrub! Whether you’re creating a backyard sanctuary or expanding an existing edible forest, this workshop will empower you to infuse your space with the fragrance, functionality, and beauty of herbs.
