Film Screening: Establishing a Food Forest

Landlocked Film Festival and Backyard Abundance will present the film "Establishing a Food Forest" at the Iowa City Public Library, Room A, on Sunday, April 29 at 2:00 PM. 

In the film, world renown permaculture designer Geoff Lawton, demonstrates how to design and implement highly productive food systems that require very little maintenance and energy. Geoff walks us through a forest of food, giving us a rich example of a new way to sustainably cultivate food.

Following the film, the University of Iowa Student Gardeners will help participants apply ideas from the film by evaluating the site for their new on-campus garden. Interested participants can make the 15-minute walk to the landscape to brainstorm design ideas.

This event is FREE and open to the public. Please join us!
