Food Forest Our Public Parks – A Community Design Workshop – postponed

About this Event

Sorry due to the weather this event has been postponed to 7 June.

Food forests are a growing trend worldwide, celebrated for weaving together ecological restoration, community engagement, and local food production.

This workshop asks a simple question: Can we grow more food in public parks?
We say yes!

Join us for a two-part session exploring how communities can design productive, regenerative public spaces.

Workshop Outline

Part 1: Presentation by Dan on the core principles behind syntropic agroforestry – one promising approach for establishing food forests.

Afternoon tea – 20 mins

Part 2:

Break into small groups to apply these principles to Olympic Park.

This hands-on design exercise will explore plant layering, complementary edible species, access and pathways, water considerations, public engagement, and more.

If your local park had a food forest, what would it include?
