Edible Forest Garden Demonstration Project

See our Events page for upcoming workshops.

Terra Commons is working to install Edible Forest Gardens in public places such as schools, parks, churches and in front yards along busy streets so that people passing by can see what an Edible Forest Garden is and learn how to transform their yard into a food producing area.

We have been doing workshops to educate people about Edible Forest Gardens and their benefits as well as working with individuals to convert their energy consuming lawn into an energy producing food forest.

To learn more take a look at the following information: Edible Forest Gardening, by Dave Sansone
