Our Farm Manager, AJ, will explore and compare various gardening philosophies in this free informative presentation.When it comes to gardening, do you follow a specific philosophy? Do you stick with conventional methods or dabble in a bit of French Biointensive? Do you sprinkle in some of Steiner’s Biodynamics, or are you a full-blooded Permaculturist? Join Convivium’s Farm Manager, AJ, as he explores and compares various gardening philosophies—including Permaculture, Biodynamics, Biointensive, Rodale’s Organic, No-Till, No-Dig, Regenerative, and more.
For participants planning to order food to eat during the presentation, please plan to arrive 15-20 minutes ahead to place your order at the coffeeshop counter. Your lunch will then be brought to you in the Learning Center to enjoy while you learn!
