FORMERLY: Implementation: Terracing & Forest Restoration at Treasure Lake, Part of our 2025 schedule of Implementation Learning Days on the 3rd Sunday of each month

Weather is preventing us from doing terracing at Treasure Lake this month, but instead, our host Doug Crouch will give an online talk about what to do in your food forest and around your homestead over these cold winter months.

For this Implementation Day, together with April Pandora of Eden Urban Gardens, we will be building a trellis for next year's tomatoes using upcycled posts and welded wire, learning the tools and tricks, and covering different bed design benefits and challenges.

Eden Urban Gardens is a Certified Organic Farm located in Pleasant Ridge and Avondale, Cincinnati, Ohio and run by CPI graduate April Pandora. We will be at 33 Clinton Springs Ave 45217. Street parking available and restrooms around the corner. Dress for the weather - please wear tennis shoes or boots!

Implementation Days are envisioned as an “advanced” level of our permaculture education, and PDC graduates and certificate holders are eligible. If you have not taken a PDC, you may still participate in implementation days; however, these are not intended as introductory classes or substitutes for a permaculture design course

For this Implementation Day, April Pandora of Eden Urban Gardens will be teaching us how to prepare and plant garlic beds, and prune and care for perennials like chives, Chinese leeks and Egyptian Onions for upcoming winter months!

Join us as we visit One Earth Collaborative Sanctuary in Oregonia, Ohio, right along the Little Miami River. Our host Ryan Cappo has a design for a "beautiful, thoughtfully arranged, organic perennial berry + herb garden" by designer Lauren Craig of Humble Hive Consulting in Dayton and has been working on implementing its starting phases at the sanctuary. The design includes sheet mulched space, walkways, strawberry borders, and berry trellises, with plantings of bee balm, blackberries, blueberries, chives, lavender, lemon balm, raspberries, sage, thyme, and yarrow.

During this Implementation Day, we will be helping Ryan install the berry trellises and plant the berries in an area he has already prepared with sheet mulch. We can also show you some of the other installations in progress at One Earth Collaborative, including the vegetable and herb gardens, the kids garden, and forest paths with wild flora to forage.

Implementation Days are free and open to current and former PDC students. Events may be canceled in event of inclement or unsafe weather. Please check your email for updates in advance.

Info about One Earth Collaborative Sanctuary: Parking is on grass/dirt. Portapotty available. No Wi-fi, electricity, or running water. Berry patch is in full sun; sun protection highly recommended. One Earth Collaborative Sanctuary is located at the corner of Oregonia and Emmons Rd.

Unfortunately, we're having to call this one off, but this won't be the last time it's available!
