How to Build Healthy Soils

Healthy soils are the basis for all life on earth; along with plants they create the world as we know it from rock and air. But how do they do that? And how can we make it happen faster? In this beginner-level workshop we will take a deep dive into the great and mysterious soil beneath our feet.

Cob Rocket Stove Oven Workshop

We are pleased to invite you to join Uncle Mud for a one-day cob rocket stove build as we continue our Natural Building work at Bending Oak Farm. Learn how to use earth (sandy, clay, subsoil) and tree limbs from your own yard to build a convenient outdoor workspace for cooking and canning your produce, boiling maple sap, and hosting garden parties.

Trees and Shrubs and How They Are Used

Woody plants have many uses to humans in the forested parts of the world. Food, fuel, fiber, building materials, forage for wild game- the trees and shrubs in the forest can tell us very much about the landscape that we’re in, and help us live better. In this plant walk we will discuss not only the trees and their uses but also how sustainable forest management can lead to healthier forests, cleaner water, and more wildlife.

Forest Gardening

Forest gardening is a way of growing plants that mimic how our forests naturally regenerate and grow. It is the design of ecologically sound landscapes which also yield products that support people.

Discover Medicinal Plants!

A natural medicine chest awaits in the fields and forests where we live. We will discuss historical and modern science-based uses for common native and naturalized medicinal herbs as well as finding where they grow and why.
