“Guerrilla Gardening Tactics” with Farmer Dan
July 14, 2019 @ 9:00 am - 12:00 pm
$25 – $30This is an intro-level workshop for any inspired food grower, chef, “foodie” or wannabe seeking to reliably produce amazing, nutrient-dense food on small, backyard plots, rooftops, in containers, passive solar hoophouses, etc., under a variety of “marginal” and “real-life” conditions. Inspired both by permaculture principles, dumpster diving/gleaning, as well as twenty+ years of organic gardening, diversified grower Danny Botkin will explain and demonstrate uniquely “opportunistic”, low-tech gardening practices and shortcuts (“strategic minimalism”), including “no-till” soil building, intensive “bunch” propagation, high and low tunnel “hoophouses”, as well as a variety of other, unorthodox, seeding, mulching and season-extension methods.
The class includes a walking greenhouse tour, Q and A, plus farm snacks. $25-35 suggested donation, (no one turned away). RSVP requested. 413-863-8696. (This is our most popular workshop.)
