SUMMARY:Mapping Waters Path: Workshop on Dealing with Water on your Property
DESCRIPTION:Water doesn’t just pass through the landscape—it shapes it. In Dealing with Water\, we get into the nuts and bolts of harnessing water’s flow to build resilient environments. From the impact of overland flow on soil health to deflection techniques that protect vulnerable areas\, this workshop explores how to work with water\, not against it. We’ll dive into mapping runoff\, weighing the pros and cons of hard versus soft surfaces\, and how to use simple tools like rain barrels\, weeping tiles\, and swales to transform spaces. We’ll also cover plant-based solutions\, from rain gardens to native vegetation that absorbs\, transpires\, and redirects water where it’s needed. This is about building balance—creating a landscape that thrives by letting water take its course. This workshop delves into practical strategies for managing water in your landscape.

SUMMARY:Planting companion layers in a food forest
DESCRIPTION:“Learn how to plant shrub\, perennial and low layers in a food forest in this FREE hands-on Learn & Work Party. Physical challenge level: medium-high More details and free registration (required) at  \n\n\n\nEventbrite:https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/868460006257?aff=oddtdtcreator  \n\n\n\nFood forests have been used to grow food by many indigenous cultures around the world for hundreds of years or more\, and are still used today. A food forest is designed to resemble a forest ecosystem in which different types of perennials (trees\, shrubs\, herbs\, and flowers) are planted together to perform different functions such as help fertilize the soil\, attract pollinators\, offer shade\, repel pests\, etc. In a food forest\, most of the plants are perennial and many are native to the region. Explore our young food forest at Bluenose Academy\, and help us add more plants in 2024! We will guide you to plant a few more trees and lots of shrubs and perennials in diverse layers and guilds\, rather than rows. This is a hands-on Learn & Work Party\, in which you will learn-by-doing\, working with fellow community members to raise our young little food forest! Activities will include digging\, shovelling\, wheelbarrowing\, spreading and moving organic material. Activities are suited to strong healthy adults\, teens and older children; younger children can also participate in planting smaller plants.”
