SPEAKER: Aaron Parker, Edgewood Nursery
A food forest is a way of laying out a landscape to mimic a natural forest, providing food and other human needs with a minimum amount of external inputs and maximum benefits to wildlife and the greater environment. Guest speaker Aaron Parker introduces the concepts of ecological niches, analogs, and resource partitioning so you can design your own home-scale food forest. He also covers best practices for starting a food forest and recommended species to plant.
