SUMMARY:Permaculture Roots 2 - Food Forest Design
DESCRIPTION:Chapel Hill\, NC (first half of day) and Hillsborough\, NC (second half of day) \n\n\n\nFor information on the whole Permaculture Roots workshop series\, please see this page. \n\n\n\nWe are grateful to be putting on this workshop in collaboration with Living Arts Collective and in the lovingly tended space of Jubilee Healing Farm. \n\n\n\nEach workshop in this series will include opportunities to connect with nature and our senses\, learn Permaculture design\, answer your questions\, and meet other amazing humans interested in Permaculture. \n\n\n\nThis Workshop:\n\n\n\nOur second workshop on June 21 is focused on designing a Food Forest!  \n\n\n\nFirst\, we’ll begin by touring Liane Salgado’s 15-year old Food Forest / Forest Garden in Chapel Hill\, NC.  This is the most abundant and mature example of a food forest I know of in the entire Piedmont!  This workshop gives a rare opportunity to learn from an established\, local food forest. \n\n\n\nOne small part of Liane’s Chapel Hill Food Forest.  It’s hard for photos to do a food forest justice.  Just about every plant you see here provides food (as well as medicine\, habitat\, mulch\, soil building\, and so on…!).  Fifteen years after Liane began\, the Food Forest is a place for life beyond compare.\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nThen\, in the second half of the workshop\, we’ll apply what we learned to co-design a Food Forest for Jubilee Healing Farm in Hillsborough\, NC which will be planted this Fall! \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nMain topics:\n\n\n\n\nTouring a Successful Food Forest\n\n\n\nAll About Food Forests / Forest Gardens\n\n\n\nApplying Permaculture Design Techniques\n\n\n\nWeaving Beauty and Places for Life\n\n\n\nLaying Out a Food Forest Design From Pattern to Detail\n\n\n\nSelecting the Right Plants\n\n\n\nSome Favorite Edible Trees and Shrubs!\n\n\n\n50+ Food Forest Plant List\n\n\n\nYour Food Forest / Forest Garden Questions\n\n\n\n\n… and in October\, we’ll have a workshop on the same site where we’ll install the Food Forest! \n\n\n\nVenue and Workshop Details:\n\n\n\nThe first half of this workshop will be held in a 2-acre mature Food Forest in Chapel Hill.  The second half will be at Jubilee Healing Farm\, a beautifully tended small farm located on 10 acres in Hillsborough\, NC that supports volunteer and community-building activities and workshops for people seeking healing. \n\n\n\nWe’ll have the workshop part inside and part outside unless the weather disagrees!  Please wear comfortable clothing for the day.  If it’s going to rain a little\, bring rain gear.  A little rain is very helpful for Permaculture design! \n\n\n\nWe’ll likely do a little forest walking.  Good to wear compatible footwear.  If you’re concerned about ticks or other itchy expressions of the local ecology\, please bring non-toxic insect deterrent. \n\n\n\nWhat to Bring:\n\n\n\n\nJournal and pen – while digital is OK\, we strongly suggest using paper!\n\n\n\nYour own lunch and any snacks you need (kitchen available to heat up food)\n\n\n\nWater bottle\n\n\n\nSeeds or plants to swap if you’ve got ’em!  Also fine just to receive.\n\n\n\n\nAlso: \n\n\n\n\nOpenness to new (and ancient) ways of seeing and living\n\n\n\nKindness towards the plants\, animals\, soil\, water\, and other people here\n\n\n\nInclusivity and welcoming spirit towards the people in the workshop\n\n\n\nWillingness to put your phones away and tune into your senses\n\n\n\nCuriosity about life and what each other and the land has to say\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nSign-Up\n\n\n\nWe offer our tickets at a rate that allows us to continue doing this work.  Thank you for supporting it.   \n\n\n\nFor this workshop\, we are offering a limited number of tickets to the first half of the day at the Food Forest in Chapel Hill. If you can only make it to the first half (9:30am to 12:30pm)\, sign-up for the half day ticket below. \n\n\n\nIf you have any questions\, please reach out to workshops@silverbranchpermaculture.org. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Facilitator\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMatthew “Watersong” Tracy started practicing Permaculture in 2011 and received his design certificate from Wild Abundance in 2015. He has been consulting and teaching as a Permaculture Designer since 2018. \n\n\n\nAlong the way\, he learned from numerous Permaculture teachers\, tended land with minimal inputs\, worked with around 50 clients on their land\, lived off-grid for nearly a decade\, and made (… and still makes!) a whole lot of humbling and valuable mistakes on his way back to life in harmony with the earth.  \n\n\n\nWith all that experience\, Matt is ever a beginner and student of the land.  Nature is infinite.  What can we do but listen and try? \n\n\n\nMatt is honored to be a Permaculture guide to anyone interested in coming a little closer to the earth. Becoming a father in 2023 has made passing down these teachings that always consider future generations more important than ever. \n\n\n\nRead the rest of Matt’s bio here.

SUMMARY:Permaculture 101 - Principles\, Patterns\, and Plants for the Southeast
DESCRIPTION:Far more than a system of gardening\, Permaculture teaches a way to harmoniously integrate people and ecology in a way that regenerates both.  This new and ancient art has never been more needed than it is today.\n\nThis day-long Permaculture course is an excellent place to begin\, as well as a good deep dive for anyone who has practiced some permaculture and wants to immerse themselves into the principles and patterns at the root of this movement.\n\nWe’ll explore the immensely helpful permaculture design principles and then bring it into more application by looking at some design patterns that emerge from applying these principles – especially those that work well in the sultry Southeast.  We’ll dive into some favorite permaculture plants for this bioregion and their many uses\, including our beautiful local trees.  We’ll also make sure and get some hands on experiences in the mix and help everyone stay connected after the workshop so you can get help for your land projects and the support of a community.\n\nClass will be held in a location to be announced within 40 minutes of Durham and Chapel Hill.\n\nA delicious off-grid vegan lunch will be provided.\n\nMatt and Liane will be teaching this workshop together\, so don’t miss it!\n\nParticipation in this beginner-level class will give a discount on future Permaculture Design Certificate courses we teach.
