Healthy forests maintain, fertilize, and renew themselves, naturally. Wouldn’t you like to grow an abundant food-producing ecosystem like this in your back yard?
You can! Edible forest gardens mimic the structure and function of natural forests through all their stages of development and grow food, fuel, fiber, fodder, fertilizers,
farmaceuticals, and fun. We can meet our own needs and regenerate healthy
ecosystems at the same time! This talk introduces the vision of forest gardening with some scientific background, a few living examples, and a sampling of some useful
perennial edibles you can use in your own garden.

Sowing Seeds Here and Now!: A Chesapeake Urban Farming Summit

Featuring Will Allen as our keynote speaker, this one-day event aims to catalyze urban agriculture in the DC / Baltimore metropolitan area.

There will be outdoor hands-on workshops for practitioners to learn urban farming skills, and breakout sessions for those learning about:
a) public health and the environment,
b) zoning, ordinance, and incentives,
c) and case studies of successful urban farms in the United States.
