We are pleased to announce the speakers for the remaining tours in 2017! All tours begin at 10 am on Saturdays and usually last about 2.5 hours. Each tour includes an indoor talk about permaculture /urban food forests, secondary water and water saving techniques, and an outdoor part where participants explore the existing food forest under the guidance of an experienced professional. Tours go rain or shine, so please plan accordingly and bring your rain gear and warm cloth. The tours are free, but you do have to register to receive the exact address.
