Event Description

Jonathan Bates, owner of Food Forest Farm, and contributing author of, "Paradise Lot: Two Plant Geeks, One-Tenth of an Acre, and the Making of an Edible Garden Oasis in the City", will show you how he transformed a blighted urban yard into an edible paradise. By using permaculture design he's created both beauty and abundance, meeting human needs while improving ecosystem health.

 

Extending the Season: Backyard Bioshelters for Fruit, Fish and Fun

 

Forget the cold. Learn how to bring the sub-tropics to New England!  Jonathan will share his story of building a bioshelter that produce year-round food incorporating whole ecologies into the design. Well-insulated from the cold, he grows plants like tree collards, figs and citrus. Water supports thriving aquaponics systems with fish, clams, aquatic plants and vegetables. Hardy greens sweeten up during the winter months for delicious March salads. All inside a building made with recycled materials, and powered by the sun.
