EDIBLE PLANT TOUR & FOOD FORESTRY DEMONSTRATION
Join us for this edible plant tour & sale, learn about 20+ unique food forestry plants, and how to incorporate them into your yard!
WHY THIS, WHY NOW?
---------------------------------------------------------------------
There’s a new nursery in town (Edible Plant Source), specializing in edible perennial and medicinal plants!
We want to introduce you to the nursery & these plants, and show you how to arrange them into a beautiful, low-maintenance edible forest garden, aka food forest.
Food forestry has been called “Gardening for 1000 Years”, and although this is an ancient growing technique, there is no better time than now to create long-term food security for you and your family!
“The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago, the second best time is today.” - Chinese Proverb

WHY "FOOD FORESTRY & EDIBLE PERENNIALS"?
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Food forestry has been called “Gardening for 1000 Years”
Edible perennials are planted once, and harvested for years to come
Edible perennials are low-maintenance, hardy, and resilient in an unpredictable climate
Beyond food, food forestry can provide herbal medicine, native plant and insect habitat, food for pollinators, erosion control, drought resistance, build soil health, natural pest control, and offers the resilience of a forest ecosystem, with the beauty of an ornamental landscape.
