Growing a Food Forest Workshop

來自檳城的 Project M.A.R.S. 創辦人第二次飛來香港，在香港傳授建設「食物森林」的方法。食物森林不同於一般的菜園，它旨在選擇多樣的具韌性作物，並編排出高、中、低層的共生植物系統，能適應氣侯變化，實現自給自足。參加者將一同學習，認識合用的香港植物，共同準備一個「一寧小院」實驗性食物森林。期待大家透過實踐，將知識活學活用，把任何綠色空間變成大大小小的食物森林。

工作坊目標

• 聯結大嶼山的農民，分享種子、幼苗和資源
• 了解適合食物森林設計和實施的本地植物
• 聯繫有興趣在「一寧小院」合作籌備和維護實驗性食物森林的人士

The founder of Project M.A.R.S. from Penang has flown to Hong Kong for the second time to teach Hong Kong farmers/permaculturists/gardeners how to build a food forest. A food forest differs from a typical garden or farmland; it aims to select diverse, resilient crops and arrange a symbiotic plant system with different layers that can adapt to climate change and achieve self-sufficiency. 

Workshop's Objectives

• Connecting farmers from Lantau Island and share seeds, seedlings, and resources 
• To learn about suitable local plants for food forest design and implementation 
• Connecting with people who are interested to collaboratively prepare and maintain an experimental food forest at Ning’s Yard
