A corner of the Hall Middle School food forest.
Hall School in Larkspur is about to embark on the next phase of their food forest. They are fortunate to have a crew of students from the Marin Academy along with two amazing permaculturalists, Lindsay Dailey and Massey Burke, to help with this part of the project.
They would like to plant some supporting species around some of the trees and are going to have a few theme areas: CA natives, Lost Crops of the Incas, Meso-America, Mediterranean, and herb spiral. They are also looking for lots of (preferably) edible vines to cover a massive amount of fence. Two purposes there: create a visual and aesthetic wall and also to create more of a sense of place. In terms of vines, they’re thinking edible passion flowers, grapes, chayote, peas, though there could be others.
If you have any plants that fit into the above categories that you could donate, please contact Rebecca Newburn at rebeccanewburn@gmail.com. The Marin Academy students are starting on May 26th, and Rebecca would like to have a sense of what they have and what else they need to get before then.
