Join Carol Burton and Joanna Botvin in an exciting exploration of permaculture and medicinal forest gardening presentation. In this session, we will delve into the foundational principles of permaculture, focusing on transforming your garden with information and knowledge of volunteer 'weeds' into valuable assets in your garden. Discover the wild energy of edible plants like yellow dock and purslane, known as 'weeds' and foes of the garden to transform to 'friends' as we uncover their unique roles in creating a thriving ecosystem.
Deepen your understanding of permaculture ethics and principles while gaining practical knowledge on cultivating a medicinal food forest. Whether you're a beginner or seasoned gardener, this series offers valuable insights to enhance your gardening journey. Register now for Part 1 and embark on a transformative learning experience with us!

In Support of Urban Harvest, Inc.
Urban Harvest cultivates thriving communities through gardening and access to healthy, local food. We are improving the lives, soil, and plates of all Houstonians through:
ORGANIC GARDENING & NUTRITION EDUCATION
Urban Harvest Classes teach and promote the benefits of organic gardening, ecological land management, and healthy food choices. In schools, our Garden Educators teach children about nature and the origins of their food through hands-on, experiential learning.
HEALTHY FOOD ACCESS
Through Double Up Houston, Urban Harvest is making fresh, healthy food accessible and affordable for all. Double Up Houston provides SNAP (formerly food stamps) beneficiaries with double the amount of fresh produce for every dollar spent at markets and farm stands across Houston.
COMMUNITY GARDENS
With a network of over 140 edible gardens throughout the Greater Houston area, it's easy to get involved in a garden near you. Urban Harvest provides affiliate gardens with volunteer engagement and workdays; seed and plant distributions; and, free education opportunities to help each garden become long-lasting and well-established for the community it serves.
FARMERS MARKETS
Get to know your farmer at Urban Harvest's Farmers Markets. Here, you will find the freshest farm and artisanal products, each grown, raised, and made within 180 miles of Houston. What’s more, your food dollars stay in the local economy.
