Would you contribute to online Forest Gardening seminars?
Hi all,
In the current crisis, with people stuck at home, there are many groups and organisations offering online content to engage people and support them through this time.
It feels like Forest Gardening is relevant and the NFGS could be one of them.
Would anyone be willing to give a short (i.e. 10-15 min) seminar covering some basic techniques or knowledge relevant to Forest Gardening?
Where it is safe to do so giving tours of your Forest Gardens to show how they work in practice would also be good?
We would aim for the presentations to be followed by a discussion, and would like to run a number of sessions if possible.
Please get in touch if you're interested!
We can sort the tech side if people can provide the content.

Hi @Jo Barker Hannah @Hannah Gardiner is wondering could you get in touch with her if you'd be interested in presenting one of our webinars? Many thanks!

I would be delighted. I just did my first online workshop (Home Permaculture in the Garden) on Monday evening and thought it went ok. There were too many people (17) to have a discussion though just two short go rounds. 15 minutes would be more than enough time for me. Happy to do an introduction, permaculture principles of forest gardening, the 12 F's of forest garden or foraging for a super salad!

Definitely. I think have a time limit for tours, otherwise I'll just talk about forest gardens for hours! Will have a think how to phrase it
