Overview
A multi-functional hedge is a beautiful, functional and biologically diverse component of rural and/or urban landscapes. These multi-tiered assemblages of trees, shrubs, ground covers, vines, grasses, flowers and herbs can border fields, waterways or city lots.
During this workshop you will learn how to design, implement and maintain any size hedge with the options to provide soil stabilization, windbreaks, encourage beneficial Insects, shelter and food for wildlife and people, privacy screening, reduce noise and other pollutants as well as ways to diversify your income.
The concepts of soil preparation, plant selection, planting techniques, irrigation, and ways to lessen maintenance will be discussed. Budgets, timelines and a host of resources will be offered as well as examples and resources.
