Edible Forest Gardens

Leave a reply

Edible Forest Gardens is a local non-profit organization that has put more than 35 Edible Forest Gardens in yards around Olympia over the past four years. They have done this using workshops where community volunteers and Evergreen students have had the opportunity to learn how to transform lawns into gardens through hands-on experience. They work with Evergreen teachers to offer permaculture learning experiences to interns and work study students.

By encouraging people to create gardens that supplement local food supplies, atmospheric CO2 emitted during transport of the food is cut out. CO2 is also taken up by the plants being cultivated.
