<https://mortonarb.org/explore/activities/adult-programs/food-forest-design-workshop/#overview>
Saturday, November 2, 2024, 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.
Food forests are an approach to growing edible plants that incorporates all
of the layers found in naturally occurring forests. This holistic approach
is beneficial in several ways, both for the local population as well as for
the environment.

This unique garden design course provides general information and
guidelines on food forests and how to plan and care for them, including
information on edible native species, companion planting, and other
considerations for better cultivation. This course is for everyone; no
special knowledge is required.

After taking this course, participants will:

   - Understand what a food forest is and its benefits
   - Become familiar with current examples of food forests
   - Understand the structure of a natural forest
   - Understand how the structure of a natural forest is applied to a food
   forest
   - Understand the steps of planning a food forest
   - Understand the considerations for cultivating a food forest
