Jonathan Bates <at> TCPL TONIGHT!

Jonathan Bates, contributing author of “Paradise Lot: Two plant geeks, one-tenth of an acre, and the making of an edible garden oasis in the city,” speaks about his 10-year-old edible forest garden in Holyoke, MA.

101 E. Green St., Ithaca, New York 14850
6:00pm until 8:00pm
By using the principles of permaculture design, Jonathan and co-author Eric Toensmeier created a thriving edible ecosystem from a blighted dead landscape. Enjoy learning about our delicious uncommon fruit and perennial vegetables, a year-round food bioshelter greenhouse, raising micro-livestock like black soldier flies and aquaponic fish, using microclimates for growing figs and kiwis, starting a successful backyard plant nursery (www.foodforestfarm.com), and enjoying the cornucopia with friends and family. Jonathan will present his challenge-to-opportunity story through vibrant pictures and enlightening discussion.

Signed books will be available for purchase.

Dear Kristi,

 

It’s unclear from this posting and the linked website--is there a commitment for participants to volunteer a certain amount of time after this training? Or is this just something that anyone can sign up for if they’re interested in local flora and fauna?

 

Thanks

 

Paula

“Paradise Lot: Growing an Edible Garden Oasis” - a talk by Jonathan Bates

Monday May 13, 6:00-8:00pm

Tompkins County Public Library- Borg Warner Room, 101 East Green Street, Ithaca 14850

 

Jonathan Bates, contributing author of “Paradise Lot: Two plant geeks, one-tenth of an acre, and the making of an edible garden oasis,” speaks about his 10-year-old edible forest garden in Holyoke, MA.  By using the principles of permaculture design, Jonathan and co-author Eric Toensmeier created a thriving edible ecosystem from a blighted dead landscape. Enjoy learning about our delicious uncommon fruit and perennial vegetables, a year-round food bioshelter greenhouse, raising micro-livestock like black soldier flies and aquaponic fish, using microclimates for growing figs and kiwis, starting a successful backyard plant nursery (foodforestfarm.com), and enjoying the cornucopia with friends and family.
