This three day workshop will utilize the living landscapes of Wellspring Forest Farm, Edible Acres, and Twisted Tree Farm to explore a wide range of examples, approaches, and goals for nursery production.

Examples of systems we will explore:

• Tree Guilds with annuals and perennials at Edible Acres

• Chestnut and Hazelnut production on heavy clay soils at Twisted Tree

• Willow fodder block establishment with 3D Deer Fence at Wellspring
