Curious about syntropic agroforestry but not sure where to start? This hands-on half-day workshop introduces the core principles behind one of the world's most exciting regenerative growing systems.

We'll begin with a practical theory session exploring ecological succession, plant stratification, biomass, and how natural ecosystems can guide the way we grow food. We'll then head into the garden to plant a syntropic garden row together, giving you practical experience and the confidence to begin applying these principles at home.

Whether you're a home gardener, landholder or simply interested in regenerative agriculture, you'll leave with a deeper understanding of syntropic agroforestry, hands-on experience, and plenty of inspiration for your own growing space.

Light Lunch and refreshments will be provided.
