There are no neat rows or carefully manicured areas, but there are loads of beneficial insects. Plus the garden&#8217;s look neat and tidy with all that mulch that keeps the plants cooler when it&#8217;s hot and wetter when it&#8217;s dry. The new food forest areas, including the high tunnel are a unique twist on overall food production and land management. They also demonstrate some lessons in climate adaptation. Annie will lead the discussion as she talks about how she manages the the variety of gardens over the four seasons. After the tour, and a proper cup of tea, there may be a short demonstration on how to propagate some of the plants from the gardens over the winter. <strong>What you will see or learn:<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>Fall\/winter\/spring\/summer management of vegetable raised beds<\/li>\r\n<li>Rain garden management<\/li>\r\n<li>Creating a propagation area<\/li>\r\n<li>Visit the new high tunnel forest garden<\/li>\r\n<li>Learn about the new food forest urban lot project<\/li>\r\n<li>Discussion about climate adaptation planning for southeast Ohio<\/li>\r\n<li>Easy plant propagation (including elderberry, fig, celery)<\/li>\r\n<li>Perhaps some wild food identification.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<p>Plan to walk quite a bit during the tour.
