Syntropic agroforestry: design your first rows
A hands-on day in a 20-year-old food forest: succession, stratification, spacing, pruning and mulching — then you plant a syntropic row yourself.
$85 · per person · lunch included 1 day up to 12
Syntropic farming can sound abstract until you stand inside a working system. This one-day workshop puts the theory (natural succession, stratification, time and space) next to the practice: we read our established rows, prune and chop-and-drop together, then design and plant a new row from bananas and pioneers down to cacao and timber.
You leave with a planting plan for your own land, a species list for the tropics, and dirt under your nails.
You will learn
- The four principles of syntropic design
- Species selection & consortium planning for the tropics
- Pruning for light & mulch (chop and drop)
- How to convert an existing garden or pasture
