Permaculture in the Garden: Lessons from the Farm

Join Extension Master Gardener Maria Velikonja to explore basic permaculture concepts and designs that will help you transform your small urban yard into your own food forest. Gardening does not have to be a lot of work, nor do you need to use inorganic chemicals. Maria will share lessons from her experience with permaculture on her farm that you can readily apply to grow perennial vegetables, fruits, nuts, and herbs, creating a healthful edible landscape while reducing your annual labor and investment. Maria Velikonja is a permaculture farmer and owner of Carniola Farms, located on the eastern shore of Maryland.
