The Productive Garden with Natasha Morgan

Whether you're working with a courtyard, a veggie patch or a larger garden, this workshop is about creating a productive space that offers both beauty and abundance.

Explore what productive gardening really means. The workshop covers soil care, compost systems, green manures, vertical growing, chickens, worms and closed-loop cycles. You'll see how to use wicking beds as productive, water-wise microclimates, and how to approach different soil types and site conditions. Your instructors will talk about heirlooms and hybrids, perennial and medicinal layers, espalier techniques, and the role of beauty in even the most functional plantings.

This is not a technical how-to on growing food. It is a practical and inspiring session on preparing and shaping a garden that is generous, resilient and connected to place. You'll leave with tools and ideas to help you begin.
