Intentional Garden Design Retreat
As the earth begins to thaw, and your mind turns to imagining your spring and summer gardens let Megan Gilger’s expertise in permaculture and regenerative garden design help guide your garden plan. This popular course is a practical hands-on exploration of native and locally adaptive plants that create vibrant and productive gardens and ecosystems. Leading with permaculture and regenerative garden design principles, Megan guides this three day retreat to culminate with you completing a garden plan of your own creation for your specific space or property, no matter the size. Soil, sun, pest control, and garden yields will be discussed to enhance your garden’s success.
Prior to the retreat, students have the opportunity to schedule a personal walkthrough of their property with Megan, offered at a discounted rate.
Lunch throughout the retreat, as well as a happy hour on the final day will be provided by a local chef.
