Learn how to respectfully gather wild tree foods and medicines, and prepare the seeds for planting as part of the reciprocal cycle of life. This training is based on the Children’s Forest ‘Forests from Seed’ project, located at our small tree nursery. Learn how to set up your own tree nursery and grow healthy, locally sourced trees and explore the tending processes needed over a year to grow trees from seed to sapling, looking into details such as growing methods and mediums, and pests and problems as well as exploring ways in which we can support communities to come together to grow and celebrate trees of all ages with songs, stories and more.
The course is led by experienced Permaculture teacher Pippa Johns, and trained forest school leader Anna Richardson, whose work is deeply informed by the 8 Shields approach.
