This workshop will focus on various plants, trees and shrubs that are known to help create a successful permaculture garden. Multi-functional plants become "Perma All-Stars" when strategically used and worked into the design of one's garden. From small plants to hard wood specimens, using plants to meet a grower's various needs can help to prevent or solve problems that otherwise may require more drastic measures.
