THE EDIBLE HEDGE
When: Sunday, March 21, 10 – 3
Where: OmCulture Studio in Wallingford
With: Jenny Pell & Marisha Auerbach
There are many delicious berries that love to grow
here in the Pacific NW that you can grow in your own
backyards and neighborhoods! Some examples include
currants, gooseberries, thornless loganberries, goji berries,
aronia, goumi, blueberries, raspberries, and hardy kiwis.
Edible hedges serve many of functions besides providing
prolific fabulous fruits – they can be used as privacy screens,
windbreaks, bee forage, and they are beautiful. They are
great additions to any landscape including schools, churches,
alleyways, pocket parks, and "parking strips".
Planted permaculture-style in well-mulched beds with
perennial flowering shrubs, self-seeding flowers, and mycorrhizal
fungi, these hedges require minimal maintenance, provide bigger
yields season after season, and are easy to propagate.
Come and learn hedge design, propagation techniques,
sheet-mulching, ecosystem enhancement, and plant an entire
easy-to-replicate edible hedge!
Cost: $50
