Permaculture Garden Workshop
Join the Permaculture Group at Church of the Good Shepherd (9441 Grayson PKWY, Galax VA) April 11 from 9 am to noon as they plant a plant guild to surround the asparagus plantings in the Permaculture Garden on April 11, 9am to noon.
What is a plant guild you may be asking? Plant guilds are strategic, multi-species plant communities designed to mimic natural ecosystems, typically centered around a primary plant, often a tree but in this case asparagus crowns, to improve its health, reduce maintenance, and increase yields. Guilds often combine functional plants that fix nitrogen, accumulate nutrients, repel pests, attract pollinators, and act as mulch.
Asparagus is a long lived perennial and needs special planting techniques to thrive. Come learn all about it and help plant. It’s free, so bring a friend!
