Introduction to forest gardening

Join us for an afternoon introduction to forest gardening. During this session we will learn what a forest garden is and the benefits of planting one. We’ll enjoy a tour of the wonderful forest garden at Edible Landscapes situated in the heart of Finsbury Park and learn more about some of the plants.

This will be a relaxed and informal session for people interested in learning more about forest gardens and the plants within them. There will also be a chance to connect with each other over a picnic lunch (please bring your own).
