Join us for a hands-on day at Ediblescapes, where agroforestry syntropic, agroecology, and permaculture principles come to life! Participants will engage in practical activities such as tree pruning, propagation, planting, and biomass management, all while exploring the integration of fruit, food, herbs, grasses, and edible weeds in sustainable agroecosystems.

Australian syntropic farming pioneer, Scott Hall, will lead a conversation and share his expertise on building resilient, self-sustaining ecosystems.
