About the event

In this hands on workshop we will learn to design and implement this Regenerative Agriculture Practice.

Hügelkultur (German pronunciation: [ˈhyːɡl̩kʊlˌtuːɐ̯]) is an agricultural technique where a mound constructed from decaying wood debris and other compostable biomass plant materials is later (or immediately) planted as a raised bed.

Benefits of Hugelkultur: -Great alternative to burn piles -Great for use in areas with poor soil -Retains moisture like a sponge reducing watering needs -Soil Warms up quicker in spring -Sequesters Carbon
