Join Tom Buhr and Mangaroa Farms for an education experience in Food Forest Management. Using Syntropic Agroforestry Principles, we will be managing and pruning a 6 month old temperate food forest. There will be an introduction into food forestry, management techniques and tools followed by hands on experience in the food forest. If you have any spare comfrey, artichoke, Jerusalem artichoke or any herbs please bring them along to plant into the food forest. Light, healthy refreshments will also be provided.
Please park at the market garden turn off, not the Farm Shop. This is the next gate after the shop turnoff, on the southern side of the gardens, by the small cottage and black shed.
Please bring a rice knife or pruning scissors/secateurs. Gloves optional too.
