SUMMARY:Food Forest Our Public Parks! A Community Design Workshop
DESCRIPTION:This event has been postponed.  \nNew date: Sunday 7 June 2026 (previously Sunday 12 April) \nFood forests are a growing trend worldwide\, celebrated for weaving together ecological restoration\, community engagement\, and local food production. \nThis workshop asks a simple question: Can we grow more food in public parks?\nWe say yes! \nJoin us for a two-part session exploring how communities can design productive\, regenerative public spaces. \n\nWorkshop Outline \nPart 1: Presentation by Dan on the core principles behind syntropic agroforestry – one promising approach for establishing food forests. \nAfternoon tea – 20 mins \nPart 2: \nBreak into small groups to apply these principles to Olympic Park. \nThis hands-on design exercise will explore plant layering\, complementary edible species\, access and pathways\, water considerations\, public engagement\, and more. \nIf your local park had a food forest\, what would it include? \n \nThis event is part of EcoFest 2026 — a month-long\, community-powered festival celebrating nature\, sustainable living and everyday climate action across Tāmaki Makaurau.
