Landscape Design 101

9 a.m.

Whether
you have a new landscape or plan to update an existing area, it is critical to
begin with a good design. This program teaches the principles of landscape
design with an emphasis on how to create a beautiful landscape that will save
resources - natural and financial!

Fantastic Plants

Miss Tanna, herbalist extraordinaire from the Tarrant County Urban Homesteading Group, will do a presentation on herbs: planting, growing, harvesting, storing, and using.

This month DFW Aquaponics Meetup will be sponsoring a short hands-on workshop to teach
the techniques necessary to build a "strawberry tower" from common PVC
pipe and a few other components. I will have instructions available ($5)
that will detail the steps to build the tower, or we will provide the
instructions along with the materials to build your own 4' tower ($25) [
Please make a comment in your RSVP if you would like materials to build your own tower.]

These structures are a great place to grow Strawberries (obviously),
but also for all types of herbs, greens, and even certain vining plants.
I will specifically discuss how to integrate these growing vessels into
aquaponics systems and how to calculate their bio-filtration
effectiveness.
