SUMMARY:Food\, Ecosystems and Community: Lessons from Nature
DESCRIPTION:Join Edible Brattleboro for a winter workshop series exploring the living systems at the heart of a community food forest. Together\, we’ll learn how to create regenerative\, resilient landscapes-where soil\, plants\, and people work together in mutually supportive relationships. \nThe series features nationally recognized speakers Didi Pershouse and Dave Jacke. Didi is an author\, educator\, and policy strategist\, whose work focuses on living soils\, carbon cycles\, and the role of soil health in resilient ecosystems and communities. Dave Jacke is co-author of Edible Food Forest Gardens and a leading voice in permaculture and ecological design. Jacke will present two talks exploring forest gardening as a model for home and community landscapes\, and how ecosystem principles-such as diversity\, cooperation\, and interdependence-can inform resilient social structures. Together\, these speakers bring deep ecological insight and practical wisdom rooted in nature based systems. \nWhether you’re cultivating a backyard\, tending a shared green space\, or simply interested in how ecosystems sustain life\, this series offers insight\, inspiration\, and actionable ideas for nurturing landscapes that grow\, adapt\, and nourish for generations. \nSpeaker Schedule: \n– Tuesday\, January 13 | 7:00 PM\nDidi Pershouse — Author • Educator • Policy Strategist\nSoil as a Living System: How Healthy Soil Supports Ecosystems and Communities \nAn exploration of soil biology and the critical role living soils play in climate resilience\, food systems\, and community health. \n-Tuesday\, February 10 | 7:00 PM\nDave Jacke — Co-author of Edible Forest Gardens\nGardening Like a Forest: Ecosystem Mimicry for Homes and Communities \nHealthy forests maintain\, fertilize\, and renew themselves\, naturally.  Wouldn’t you like to grow an abundant food-producing ecosystem like this in your back yard or neighborhood?

We can meet our own needs and regenerate healthy landscapes\, communities\, and ecosystems at the same time.  We will dive into the vision of forest gardening\, a little history\, some science\, a few living examples\, and a sampling of some useful perennial edibles you can use in your own gardens. \n-Tuesday\, March 10 | 7:00 PM\nDave Jacke\nEcosystem Social Structures \nFunctional social interactions between species lie at the core of healthy ecosystems.  Understanding species and community niches\, interspecies relationships\, food webs\, guilds\, polycultures\, and the principles that undergird these structures greatly improves our ability to design and manage healthy forest gardens—and healthy human societies! \n-Tuesday\, March 24th | 7:00 PM \nRicky Baruch and Deb Habib — Founders of Seeds of Solidarity in Orange MA\, with over three decades of experience gardening\, farming and teaching widely.\nGrow Food Everywhere! \nCelebrate spring with this engaging presentation and inspiration for abundant gardens to come.
