Urban Food Forest Design - Ecofest West

Food forests can play a big part in the vision for local food security. Learn about the principles of food forest design, including site, aspect, soil and plant choice considerations with landscape architect and organic gardener Carl Pickens. Then join Carl and EcoMatters community garden coordinator, Meg Liptrot for a tour of EcoMatters’ 16-year-old food forest. After a shared lunch, get together for a collaborative design charrette helping develop a new concept for a food forest at Olympic Park. Hosted by EcoMatters and supported by the Whau Low Carbon Network, thanks to Whau Local Board and Auckland Council.
