Cancelled: Creating Growing Beds–Swales & Hügelkultur [OFFSITE]

This is an All-Star workshop that combines creating successful growing beds while cycling water and wood trimmings! In this workshop you will learn about creating raised beds as swales on contour with an extra focus on hügelkultur. Also covered is how to plant fruitful choices and lots of practical permaculture. We will be shaping swales and exemplifying hügelkultur. Learn which designs best fit your land, how they are created, and how to make them look good!
