Permaculture Service Learning
Join us at Divine Grace Yoga Ashram as we kick off the growing season with weekly hands-on permaculture service learning opportunities in our gardens. Learn how to grow crops from seed, transplant, build soil, mulch, brew microbial inoculants, tend to compost and harvest!
Monthly Activity Schedule
January – February – we will be prepping soil with double digging, manure and EM-1 (microbial innoculant)
March – We will be start plants from seed and transplanting them into our garden beds. We will be defining pathways with straw and woodchip mulch. We will be planting ground cover and native flowers around the border of the garden.
April – August – We will be weeding, watering, laying down mulch to block weeds, starting more seeds as needed, and general maintenance, and tending to the compost.
September – October – We will be harvesting the bounty and putting the garden to bed for the winter.
