Throughout each of our 5 sessions, we’ll discuss key natural cycles and processes as we guide you to develop and implement your own ecologically-sound resource use plans and practices. You’ll learn how you can maximize your food, shelter, water, energy, and waste resources, minimize your work, and enrich the local ecosystem with a beautiful garden that thrives year after year.
