With the apple tree guild now thriving and the squashes in the central bed leaping, building a large hügelkultur garden bed is the next summer project.

Join Maryn Wynne and Londa Jacques on July 11, 2026 from 9am - Noon for a hands-on class and discover how it's done.
With many hands contributing, the entire bed will be built start to finish in just three hours!
Hügelkultur is a permaculture gardening technique where woody debris such as logs, branches, and twigs that might otherwise be hauled off site are layered to create a planting mound.

The mound is then covered with compost and topsoil. As the wood breaks down, it acts as a sponge, absorbing water. As it rots, a rich ecosystem is formed that requires less fertilizer and less water than a traditional raised bed.
The class is free, and families are welcome. Be sure to sign up here!.
