Hello and welcome,
Food Forest Permaculture

Maybe you've heard of food forests...

Maybe you've read the recent UN report recognizing perennials as essential in creating sustainable food sources...

Or maybe you realized what many gardeners, farmers and people around have discovered...

Food Forest gardening provides food, fiber, fuel and medicine with lower maintenance and cost over time.

Whatever you've heard, food forest gardening is a method of gardening based on natural forest systems that, when mature, need little to no fertilizing, watering or maintenance.



"Thanks for the great first experience. I look forward to taking more PBC courses."

Jason Barber - Natural Builder - Shawnigan Lake, BC

Poppy-cock you say?

Not at all! And here's the person to show you.

Richard Walker comes with over 25 years of experience as a food forester, landscape designer, herbalist and instructor. In 1984 he started one of Canada'a first food forests in Grand Forks, BC. During that time Dragon's Eye Nursery was born from his assembled food forest.

What really adds to Richard�s credibility is that he lives as he teaches. He lives simply, creatively using his skills to bring food from the soil to the table and in doing so teaches us how food and plants create a culture of true sustainability, or in his own words �gardening for one thousand years�.

Last year Richard presented two sold-out workshops on Vancouver Island, this year his last workshop sold out in 5 days. And we still have a waiting list from all three courses.
