Jen’s workshop on using permaculture techniques to create a backyard food forest was a success. About 70 people turned out for the event held at La Placita Gardens in Albuquerque’s South Valley. A big thanks to Zoe Wilcox-Edrington of Mother Nature Gardens and Jesse Daves of Garden’s Edge for their assistance with the hands-on demonstrations. Also, thanks to my brother John McElhinney for helping me direct parking. -Tree
