The Forest Within: Crafting Sanctuary in Small Spaces

In this workshop you will learn about the philosophy of tiny forests and be shown a process for creating a forest-like sanctuary for your place. You will get to explore what the forest means to you and express that in a vision for your garden. This workshop is suitable for people who have a balcony, courtyard or backyard and who want to create a peaceful and immersive garden feature full of life.

Let nature show you the way in this intuitive process of crafting a gardening space.

By the end of this session, you will:

• understand the tiny forest concept

• be inspired by real life examples whilst touring our community garden site

• develop a vision for your own inner forest.

Grow a garden that feeds the soul. Whether you've got a balcony or a backyard you can create a space that brings the forest to your home.
