Ezra, with Abundant Living Landscaping, is teaching a practical and applied class on Regenerative Landscaping aimed at restoring the native landscape to beautify Wildfern Grove.

Join us on Saturday, April 20th (4/20), to experience Ezra’s new “Forest Enhancement and Beautification” workshop. The day will consist of moving dirt, planting seeds and trees, and multiple presentation/Q&A sessions where you will learn more about the concepts of permaculture, regenerative agriculture, and food sovereignty. The goal is to offer you practical and applicable “take-home” skills and knowledge that you can use in your own life, on your own land. The work party begins with a special talk entitled "How to quickly and easily make nature your primary teacher.” Between discussions, we will be digging holes and planting shrubbery and bushes.

Ezra Eickmeyer is the founder of Abundant Living Landscapes. He is a long-time student and practitioner of regenerative agriculture, food sovereignty, and landscape design. Ezra’s experience spans years of living a permaculture-rich lifestyle while raising children in the forests of the Olympic Mountains and the development of commercial farms and professional landscapes.
