SUMMARY:Beacon Food Forest: Seattle's Communal\, Edible Landscape
DESCRIPTION:Beacon Food Forest: Seattle’s Communal\, Edible Landscape with Beacon Food Forest Educator\, Elise Evans.\nIn 2009\, four friends looked at a bare sunny hillside in Jefferson Park and dreamed that the diverse and dynamic community of Beacon Hill could have a source of delicious\, organic\, free food. Fifteen years later\, the Beacon Food Forest (BFF) has grown into a 4 acre community oasis where visitors speak many languages\, children wander shaded paths hunting for berries\, elders harvest herbs for medicinal teas and recent immigrants meet long-time residents while picking juicy tomatoes. In this class\, Elise Evans\, Seattle P-Patch Community Garden Coordinator at BFF\, will introduce us to many edible plant varieties that are less familiar yet adapted to grow well in the PNW. She will discuss plant guilds and other strategies used to build a perennial forest ecosystem that is culturally relevant to people of many backgrounds; one that might also serve as a model for creating edible landscapes\, both big and small\, in the home garden setting. \nCost to register: $8.00\nRegister
