Do you dream of using more organic gardening and permaculture design practices, but are seeking the competence to follow through? Or have you already successfully implemented some regenerative agriculture methods, but are eager to sharpen your skills and learn in communion with others? Our Permaculture Gardeners’ Club will provide all members with specialized knowledge and hands-on practice as we share in the rewarding experience of growing food and medicine for our neighbors in this unique mountain ecology.
Gathering at the farm on Wednesday mornings, you will have a chance to work alongside like-minded people in the gardens, hoop houses, and greenhouse - honing your skills as we discuss fresh ideas. Elkstone’s experienced farmers will happily attend to your questions as they teach the principles of permaculture that guide us to work with - rather than against - nature. Each week is different, so you will have a chance to learn everything from organic vegetable growing and orchard techniques, to beekeeping and herbal medicine harvesting.
The Permaculture Gardeners’ Club meets on Wednesdays at 8:00 AM - 12:00 PM. Participation is $10, which includes a farm-to-table lunch at 12:00 PM. Please register at least 24 hours in advance.
