SUMMARY:Edible Landscaping and Gardening with Nature

Using nature’s patterns\, rhythms and cycles as our guide\, you will learn sustainable gardening techniques such as successional planting\, intensive planting\, companion planting\, and intentional design. You will leave with a number of ways to transform your own garden space to a beautiful bountiful edible landscape.
