We all need to eat, so what better way to connect people than through food. Food forests are low maintenance, biodiverse & nutrient rich systems. So they feed us, as well as give us medicines, craft materials, soaps, and so much more, but in a way that also enriches nature (biodiversity). It really is a Win-Win-Win solution.

Creating community forest gardens, helps us to connect and build community where we can share and inspire each other think about food sovereignty as well as its impact on our planet and how we can work together to create truly abundant systems for all.

During this conversation we will discuss
- What is a forest garden
- What are the benefits to people
- What are the benefits to nature
- Where can we find examples
- How do we get started

If you have a community forest garden we want to hear from you and give you an opportunity to share some of you stories.

===== SIMILAR TALK 2 OPTIONS =====
26th April 7-9pm (uk time)
2nd May 7-9pm (uk time)

==== FG SUPPORT NETWORK ====

My desire is to help build a network to support each other in these efforts, so we can support each other and inspire more people to co-create community food forests. I have just now set up a new facebook group to help facilitate this

So if you are an experienced forest garden designer or a beginner, we would love to hear from you.

==== FOREST GARDEN DESIGN COURSE ====

In May we also have a 2 month long online course to help people step by step design their own forest gardens. Payment is by conscious contribution, so people pay what that can afford and feel is fair

Would love to join the Sunday talk, where are the details please

Reminder of the free talk on community forest gardens is happening tonight (and repeated on Sunday). My idea is for the first half is to discuss what is a forest garden, why make community forest gardens, how to start and then to give people time to tell us about their projects, followed by an opportunity to network and meet each other. Hopefully make some good connections.

Wonderful. Look forward to hearing from you on the 26th.

I'll be there for the 26th 🙂 I'm helping to get a new build community forest garden off the ground, so can talk about my experiences so far

I can make the 2nd May.

Glad you enjoyed it and hopefully found it useful. BTW If there is any value in you coming to do the course again, then please do come along. No worries about payment, anyone who does a course with me is entitled to come to following courses. I have no expectations on people paying again, so it is totally their choice to pay again or not. My motivation is make things happen. So if it is useful for you please do come again.

Would love it if you can give some feedback to the group on how your project is coming along during the talk. The last hour is mainly to get people taking and connecting. So more the merrier.

Sounds like a great talk! I’ll try and join you and thank you for being such a Forest gardening advocate. I was really hooked by your course!
